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.
