dwelling,
Houses of a storey and a half became tandard throughout
Ontario early in the nineteenth century. In 1807, the government
of Upper'Canada passed an act classifying houses for taxation
• purposes according to the number of stories they had and the
number of,firepfaces they contained. The storey and a half house
was heated only on the ground floor, and thus the bbineowner
could have the extra space the upper half storey afforded without
paying a penalty in high taxes. The cost of construction was also
a factor in the development of houses of less than two, stories.
Houses of a storey arid a half normally have a one storey wall
of brick, stone, or wood, and a number of rooms contained under
the sloping roof. This Was certainly not the best method of house
building from a comfort point of view, since the upper half storey
was usually cold and dark. Often an attempt was made to
improve on this situation by carrying the brick or stone' work
right to the eaves on the gable ends of the house and providing
small windows at each end. These were often round in early
houses, but later houses generally made use of larger windows in
the gable ends. A front facing gable also provided natural light
in the upper half storey-in many small houses. This gable roof is
the most "typical" aspecteof small Ontario homes.
Despite the lilmitations imposed by one and a 'half storey
designs, nineteenth century builders found much Scope for
variation as,the century wore on. As styles changed, storey and a
half houses Incorporated these • different styles very well. The
three houses shown here illustrate different approaches to storey
and a half design
The upper house, on Centre Street, is a beutiful example of the
"Cettage Gothic" style so popular in the 'second half of the
nineteenth century: Its "T" shape, with a bedroom over the
kitchen in the rear of the house is also a frequent feature of
storey and a half deiellings. At least one ground floor, window
appears to have the original sashing, and the small panes held
together by narrow weed strips contribute mu& to the beauty of
the design. Few nineteenth century homes retain their original
'window sashing, and their appearance has usually, suffered from
the loss. This house has fine deCorative wood work over the
windows, and intricate fretwork' under the gables. •
The centre house, on Church street, is particularly interesting
because it has a "Mansard': roof, usually, found only on much
larger dwellings. The "Mansard" sty le was a French invention,
and became popular in the' 1860's in Canada, and remained so
through the 1880's. Its .great advantage in a small house like the
one shown, is the room it provided in the upper half storey:
The bottom house, on John Street. displays a nember of
interesting features. Its ground floor windows have retained the
original 12 pane sashing. The front door is in Greek Revival
/ style, with pillasters and top and side lights around the-door. The
window in the front gable is in the pointed Gothic style, though
the outer storm sashingpakes it difficult to see in this picture.
The Greek Revival influence is carried to the side of the house by
- an extension of the eaves which .creates the appearance of a
pediment formed of the gable end of the house.
These houies arc but three of the variations of thestorey and 'a
half house that .can be seen in the Seaforth area.
