NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE

TAKE NOTICE that the Town of Caledon intends to designate the property at 14275 The Gore Road as being of cultural heritage value or interest under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter O.18.

The property is located on the east side of The Gore Road, approximately 900 metres north of King Street, being part of the West Half of Lot 12, Concession 4, in the geographic Township of Albion. It includes a west-facing brick farmhouse and a complex of agricultural outbuildings.

The property’s design or physical value is linked primarily to its prominent, two-storey farmhouse, known locally as the Newlove House. Constructed between 1883 and 1891, the Newlove House has a high level of heritage integrity as a unique example of a rural farmhouse combining the design principles of both the American Gothic Revival and Italianate styles. Built of red brick with buff brick detailing, the house is a T-shaped plan with a projecting front wing ornamented with a one-storey bay window. Architectural decoration is also found around its windows, eaves, and front gable.

The property has historical value and associative value for the direct association between the Newlove House and James Newlove, a successful farmer who also played a leading role in the community’s social development as Reeve of Albion, secretary-treasurer of the Macville Public School Board, and Treasurer of the Farmers Institute. James inherited the farm from his father Love Newlove, an early 19th century settler in Albion Township. The Newlove House represents the improvement of nineteenth century farmsteads as the agricultural community progressed past the early settlement phase. The property remained in the ownership of the Newlove family until 1951.

The property has contextual value as a local landmark and for its contribution to defining and maintaining the local rural and agricultural character of the area.
