SHADOW ANALYSIS

HERITAGE BUILDING

BUILT CIRCA 1838, 2477 QUEENSWAY DRIVE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST FARM HOUSES IN BURLINGTON. KNOWN TODAY AS THE LOCUST LODGE DUE TO THE LOCUST TREES, THIS 2 STOREY GEORGIAN FARM HOUSE NOW SITS ON A SMALL SITE CONTAINING A GARDEN AND A FEW OF THE REMAINING NAMESAKE TREES. OVER THE YEARS, THE PROPERTY HAS BELONGED TO MANY FAMILIES AND OWNERS, HAVING BEEN RENTED OUT OVER YEARS OF INACTIVITY, AND LATER RENOVATED TO ALLOW FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. THE PROPERTY WAS GIVEN HERITAGE DESIGNATION IN 1993, SURVIVING THE IMMINENT THREAT OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND IT. TODAY, THE LOCUST LODGE SITS LIKE AN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MODERNIZED COMMUNITY, AT THE EDGE OF THE QEW.

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

THE LOCUST LODGE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF VERNACULAR GEORGIAN

• ARCHITECTURE. THE RUBBLE STONE

WITH MORTAR CONSTRUCTION DEMONSTRATES THE APPLICATION OF SCORED PARGING, IMITATING THE APPEARANCE OF ASHLAR STONE. THE ORIGINAL BUILDING HAD SYMMETRICAL NORTH AND EAST ELEVATIONS WITH THE WEST ELEVATION FEATURING WINDOWS ON EACH FLOOR OFFSET TOWARDS THE REAR. A 1½ STOREY ADDITION WAS ADDED TO THE SOUTHERN END OF THE BUILDING, BUT IT’S AGE IS UNKNOWN. AS ITS SURROUNDINGS CHANGED AND THE HIGHWAY WAS INSTALLED TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY, THE HOUSE WAS REORIENTED, WITH ITS MAIN ENTRANCE NOW ON THE EAST ELEVATION. IN ADDITION, THE TWO ORIGINAL CHIMNEYS WERE REMOVED WITH A NEW CHIMNEY HAVING BEEN ADDED TO THE FRONT FAÇADE, INTERFERING WITH ITS SYMMETRY.

SIMULATED DIVIDED LIGHTS (9 OVER 6 AS PER ORIGINAL WINDOWS)
