689 Princes Street, Designated Property, Kincardine, ON

Excerpt from brucecounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?app...:

 

689 Princes Street: This home was built in approximately 1875 by Abraham Joseph Evans (1839-1912) who was an architect and builder from Swansea, South Wales, who came to Bruce County in 1861. It is one of the most authentic, well-kept examples of the Second Empire style of architecture in the Municipality of Kincardine. The ornate exterior features decorated gables in the roof, a belvedere, bay window and front portico as well as rows of dentils which highlight all three stories, and the ornate iron cresting work on the top of the tower.
