Protecting built heritage in the Kingston region since 1972.

Located on the north side of Princess St, between

Located on the north side of Princess St, between King St E and Wellington St, the property contains an early, well-crafted example of a brick residential building converted for multiple uses. The property is associated with the halting of a devastating fire in 1847 and is a landmark along Princess St. Heritage attributes include the 3-storey brick building with unusual 24-pane Gothic arched windows.

The Heritage Properties Committee designated this building in September 2023.
