Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
3438 Green Road is located on the west side of Green Road north of the urban area of
Bowmanville. The subject property consists of a one-and-half-storey, stone building,
constructed in a Gothic Revival style likely built between 1861 and 1870.
Physical/Design Value
3438 Green Road has design value as a representative example of Gothic Revival
architectural style. 3438 Green Road is a one-and-a-half-storey, stone building which follows
an L-shaped plan built in the Gothic Revival architectural style. The main portion of the
building follows an L-shaped plan with an asymmetrical but balanced massing and
composition. The cross gable roofline has overhanging eaves, a small front gable peak
adorned with decorative scrolled vergeboard, while the gables ends and the front gable have
a more elaborate and ornate vergeboard with finials which are key characteristics associated
with Gothic Revival residential architecture. The building contains segmentally arched
window openings with large stone voussoirs and a lancet window with tracery and stone
voussoirs in the front gable peak which are representative of residential Gothic Architectural
design. The primary rectangular entrance is centrally placed and is located under an open
one-storey porch. The porch spans the entranceway and is supported with decorative
treillage, which adds to the ornate characteristics associated with residential Gothic Revival
architectural style. 3438 Green Road has physical value for its use of stone construction
which is a rare material for this building type within the local context. According to the local
heritage committee, the subject property is the only one of this type built in fieldstone, as
brick was the primary material of choice, making it a rare material type with the local context.
Contextual Value
3438 Green Road is a well-built structure with stone masonry which displays a high degree
of craftsmanship, especially within the local context. The building’s stone cladding is
assembled in an Aberdeen bond, with stone faces alternating between headers and
stretchers. Specifically, the headers composed of small stones stacked in groups of three
and the stretchers with the full-size stones together create a unique pattern which is
augmented by the colour contrasts and created an overall noticeable and unique stone wall
assemblage. The stone masonry, and the inclusion of the Aberdeen bond, demonstrates a
high level of craftsmanship and technique by the builder.
