The Millers Lane House
Located on a 580 m2 residential lot on the west side of the street, south of Raglan Road and adjacent to the former Millers Lane, the Millers Lane House has design value as a rare example of eclecticism in residential architecture in the Inner Harbour neighbourhood of Kingston. Eclecticism is the eclectic use of architectural styles, combining different architectural elements from several periods and regions in a single composition. The Millers Lane House demonstrates this design approach through its Italianate, Gothic Revival, and Second Empire elements. Its two-storey, asymmetrical massing with cross-gable roof and square tower is clad in a red brick veneer and sits on an evenly coursed limestone foundation. The square tower has a bell-curved mansard roof with steeply pitched gable dormers with pointed sash windows. The variety of architectural detailing displays its eclecticism from its three different styles of paired wooden brackets to the pre-cast arches over the windows. The Millers Lane House also displays a high degree of craftsmanship as demonstrated through the decorative wood vergeboard with drop pendant, highly detailed wood brackets, frieze boards, brick quoining, and recessed brick panels. Its heritage attributes include its asymmetrical two-storey massing, square tower with bell-curved mansard rood and steeply pitched dormers, brick cladding, original openings and decorative wood detailing.
