Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The property located at 289 Dundas Street East, known as the Smith-Carson House, is comprised of a two-storey brick dwelling constructed circa 1885.

Cummer (1827-1907) made significant contributions to the village’s industrial development operating every type of mill at most of the mill sites, operating a sawmill and flour mill at Smokey Hollow, and building row houses for mill workers. It is believed that the Cummer family built the dwelling located at 289 Dundas Street East following purchase of the property in 1883 by Flora (Creen) Cummer, Lockman’s wife. The property is also associated prominent Waterdown resident Richard “Dick” Smith (died 1960).

Description of Property

The 0.61-acre property at 1 Main Street North is comprised of a two-and-a-half storey single-detached brick building located on the northwest corner of Main Street North and Dundas Street East in the former Village of Waterdown and the former Township of East Flamborough, within the City of Hamilton.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The property located at 1 Main Street North, formerly known as the Kirk Hotel or the Kirk House and currently known as The Royal Coachman, is comprised of a two-and-a-half storey brick commercial building constructed circa 1889. The historical value of the property lies in its role as a significant gathering place in the Village of Waterdown, its association with the Great Fire of 1922 and its long-standing connection to the Kirk family.

The subject property has been a significant gathering place in the Village of Waterdown for over 130 years, originally as a hotel and tavern, and later a restaurant. Its location on early stagecoach routes, and its use as a stop on John Prudham’s delivery service route, made it an important part of village life at the turn of the nineteenth century. The early establishment of stagecoach routes in the Waterdown area not only brought travelers but also news of outside places that would not otherwise reach the village. The Kirk House’s central location made it a notable gathering place for events, including the annual dinner hosted by John Prudham (1850-1920) for his farming customers.

The Great Fire of 1922 destroyed a large section of Dundas Street surrounding the Kirk Hotel. The Hamilton Fire Department used the Kirk Hotel as their headquarters while battling the fire, due to its proximity to both the fire and its water source (the former stream behind the hotel). The hotel also served as a temporary hospital during the blaze to treat a firefighter suffering from smoke inhalation.

The property also has direct and long-standing associations with the Kirk family, a well-known and significant family in Waterdown. The Kirk family were hotelkeepers who owned and operated the Kirk House in Waterdown from 1888 to 1966. Patrick Kirk (1843-1894) purchased the property on the corner of Dundas and Main Streets from William Heisse, proprietor of the Right House Hotel, in 1888. With his wife Ellen (1837-1907), Patrick established the Kirk House and operated it until his death in 1894, which was publicized in the Hamilton Evening Times. The hotel was passed on and operated by subsequent family members John Henry (1866-1944), John Leo (1897-1947), and Mary (1897-1985) until finally being sold in 1966.

The cultural heritage value of the property also lies in its design value as a late-nineteenth century commercial building influenced by the Queen Anne Revival and Italianate architectural styles. The physical value of the property also lies in its high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit demonstrated by the wood detailing including the decorative bargeboard, wood pilasters, panelling and trim on the projecting bay, and, decorative wood bracketing.

The contextual value of the property lies in its contribution to defining the historic character the Village of Waterdown. The property is physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings, located close to the street on the northwest corner of prominent intersection of two historic roads, Main Street North and Dundas Street East. Historically, the Kirk House was connected to multiple stagecoach routes established early in Waterdown’s history, and the former hotel provided a place to eat and stay for travellers on their journey. The growth of rail and the popularity of the automobile led to the decline in stagecoaches; however, the Kirk House’s central location in the village has allowed it to continue to thrive as a restaurant, operating as the Royal Coachman since 1995. The property is a village landmark.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The property located at 8 Margaret Street, known as the Reid House, is comprised of a two-and-a-half storey wood-frame dwelling believed to have been constructed in two distinct phases: a one-and-a-half storey cross-gabled vernacular farm house constructed circa 1860; and, a substantial two-and-a-half storey, hipped roof, Queen Anne influenced front addition constructed circa 1910.

The historical value of the property lies in its association with the Reid family and John Vanderweide (1929-2010). John Reid (1854-1912) was a building contractor and carpenter that built a sawmill on the east side of Grindstone Creek, which he operated until 1912. John built a number of prominent homes in the village including the McGregor House (49 Main Street North) and the addition to his childhood home at this property. John Reid’s son, William (Will) Reid (1888-1956), was a photographer who created a visual record of life in Waterdown in the early-twentieth century. Without Will’s photographs, little would be known about life in Waterdown during his lifetime. The Reid family owned the property from 1855, when William Reid, John’s father, purchased it, until it was granted through Clara Reid’s will to John Vanderweide in 1966. John Vanderweide (1929-2010) was a trained printer who established his own business called The Printing Korner following his first job at the Waterdown Review. The associative value of the property also lies in its demonstration of the work of well-known local builder John Reid.
