Schedule 'A' To By-law 2026-038 Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features Description of Property 12 Veterans Avenue is located on the south side of Veterans Avenue in the Town of Bowmanville. The property contains a one-storey building constructed between 1946 and 1947 as part of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing Initiative. Physical/Design Value 12 Veterans Avenue has design value as a representative example of purpose-built post- WWII Victory Housing. Typical of this type of building is its one-storey construction, rectangular plan, asymmetrical massing and side gable roof with modest overhanging eaves. The subject building features a simple and compact form with frame construction clad with horizontal siding. 12 Veterans Avenue showcases unadorned rectangular window openings and a simple, single, asymmetrically placed entranceway opening. The subject building does not feature any ornamentation or highly decorative features, which is typical of the Victory House style. The building has an exterior brick chimney, which is a feature found on all the Victory Houses within the planned Victory Housing neighbourhood. Historical/Associative Value 12 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with the Veteran’s Housing initiative spearheaded by the local municipal government as a result of the Veteran’s Land Act. The subject property was originally part of local entrepreneur John Jury’s large estate, which was purchased by the Town of Bowmanville in 1946 to be the site of Bowmanville’s veteran’s housing subdivision. The Town of Bowmanville Council allocated funds to construct the subdivision, likely marking the first time the town acted as a builder. The subject property is one of 12 uniform lots established along both sides of Veterans Avenue, and one of 18 lots undertaken as part of the Town of Bowmanville’s Veteran’s Housing initiative. Throughout Ontario and Canada, the planned and deliberate construction associated with these kinds of Veteran’s Housing initiatives was the result of legislation like the Veteran’s Land Act. The Veteran’s Land Act sought to provide affordable housing to returning veterans and personnel associated with domestic war industries in Canada. 12 Veterans Avenue was constructed between 1946 and 1947 by the Toronto Construction Company. As intended by the Veteran’s Housing initiative, the first occupant of 12 Veterans Avenue was William “Bill” Tait, who purchased the property in April 1947. Bill enlisted in “D” Company of the Midland Battalion in 1940. He was sent to fight in the Italian campaign as part of the 8th Army in 1943. In 1944, he had been promoted to Corporal and was serving with the 1st Toronto Irish Regiment, “B” Company and had been wounded by shrapnel in the left foot. He was wounded a second time by a German mine, also in Italy, and was promoted to Lance Sergeant before being discharged at the end of the war. 12 Veterans Avenue has historical value for its association with Camp 30, a Prisoner of War Camp for German military officers that was located at the intersection of Concession Street East and Lambs Road. Camp 30 was originally a Boys’ Training School, which was also built on part of the Jury estate in the 1920s but expropriated by the federal government in 1941 for the war effort. Camp 30 was declared excess property after the cessation of World War II. At that time, the Town of Bowmanville purchased the buildings and due to a post-war material shortage, materials were taken from Camp 30 and used to construct the 18 Victory Houses. Additionally, the cost of installing municipal services in the neighbourhood was also supported by the sale of salvaged Camp 30 materials not required for the Victory Housing project. Contextual Value 12 Veterans Avenue is important in supporting the character of the Victory Housing neighbourhood located along Veterans Avenue, Second Street, and Lambs Lane. As part of the Veteran’s Housing initiative begun by the Town of Bowmanville, simple one-storey Victory Houses were constructed on 18 uniform lots in the planned community. All 18 buildings followed a uniform and rhythmic layout and design achieved through setback, massing, and height, which has created a cohesive and uniform streetscape. Specifically, along Veterans Avenue the asymmetrical façade composition is consistent along the north side of the road and opposite on the south side of the road, ultimately acting as mirror images of each other. The subject property exhibits setback, height, and massing consistent with the character of the area. 12 Veterans Avenue, and the surrounding 17 houses located in the neighbourhood, support one of the best examples of a Victory Housing neighbourhood in the Municipality of Clarington.
