Global News
A art moderne house on Metcalfe Street is among two properties in Guelph to receive provincial heritage designation. The other property is the James Hanlon farmhouse on Clair Road,
A pair of homes in Guelph were recently approved for provincial heritage designation.
A planning meeting was held on Tuesday and city council unanimously approved the recommendation.
The two houses that received approval are located at 49 Metcalfe St. and 331 Clair Rd. E.
Heritage planner Jack Mallon said the residence on Metcalfe was recognized due to its architectural significance and the representation of the social mobility of Italian immigrants in the mid-20th century.
It’s the only art moderne house in the city and it was designed by Italian immigrant and Guelph-based contractor Dario Pagani.
Mallon said the design is a type of art-deco architecture, commonly seen in the United States.
“He actually built 49 Metcalfe to be a showroom that he could use to show prospective clients what type of buildings he could do,” Mallon said.
“It’s common in the southwestern United States and the southeastern United States, but it’s definitely a rarity, not only in Guelph but in the province of Ontario.”
