SCHEDULE "B" - CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST OF THE PROPERTY
AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES
Description of Property
302 Given Road, "The Belmont", is a two storey brick farm house, located on the north side
of Given Road in Newcastle, built in the Georgian style, with Edwardian Classicism elements
and details.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The property's physical cultural heritage value lies in it being an excellent example of a
vernacular farmhouse in former Clarke Township in the late nineteenth century. The
building is constructed in the Georgian style with Edwardian Classicism elements and
details. The current house was reconstructed in the late 1890's on the original foundation
after the original house, circa 1814, was destroyed by fire in 1898. The current house has
many of the elements of the original Georgian style house but includes Edwardian elements
not believed to be featured on the original house. The original house was clapboard the
second house is brick.
The property's cultural heritage value lies in its association with Samuel Street Wilmot, his
son Samuel Wilmot and the Newcastle Fish Hatchery, the first fish hatchery in Canada.
Samuel Wilmot was a Deputy Surveyor in Upper Canada and served as a Major during the
Battle of York in 1813 and built the first Belmont residence following the War of 1812.
Samuel Wilmot, regarded as the Father of Canadian Fish Aqua- Culture, resided at The
Belmont and conducted experiments with breeding techniques in the cellar of The Belmont
in the early 1860's which led to the eventual establishment of the Newcastle Fish Hatchery.
The property's contextual cultural heritage value lies in its location and proximity to Wilmot
Creek, where Samuel Wilmot established the Newcastle Fish Hatchery. The creek is
located to the south and west of the Belmont property and was the source of the water that
feeds the cellar spring of the Belmont residence. The visual and spatial association between
the former Newcastle Fish Hatchery and Wilmot Creek and The Belmont is significant to
maintaining the local history of Samuel Wilmot and the Newcastle Fish Hatchery.
