Brantford Ontario - Canada - Sutherland Residences - Heritage
The James L. Sutherland Residence is associated with the Sutherland family. James and his brother John took over a book binding business on Colborne Street in Brantford, around 1883, and renamed it, J and J Sutherland. The business continued to operate until the end of World War II with James actively involved until the early 1920's. At this time J.R. Sutherland took over the business. During this period John Sutherland was also one of the earliest librarians at the Brantford Public Library. The residence was fully occupied by the Sutherlands until 1948, with J.R. Sutherland residing in the building until 1982.
The James L. Sutherland Residence is a fine example of Queen Anne Revival architecture. It is a large home, set back from the street. The Dufferin Avenue facade is based on a rectangle of good proportions with a vertical thrust. There are four sections to the elaborate facade
