D.W. Canfield - William H. Hellems House

2 Mill Street West, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 1V9

Description

The D.W. Canfield-William H. Hellems House is a 1½-storey house constructed in 1872 in the Gothic Revival style.  The home’s historical value lies in its association with David Wesley Canfield and William H. Hellems.  Canfield was a Kingsville Council member and had a number of business interests including the Canfield Dock, Canfield Factory, Canfield Freight Depot, Canfield Lumber Yard and the Canfield Saw Mill.  A newspaperman by trade, Hellems purchased the Kingsville Reporter in 1893 and continued as its publisher until 1935.
William H. Hellems and his wife, Victoria Buchner, purchased the home in 1900.  

Key heritage attributes include:
Field stone foundation
Steeply pitched centred gable roof with steep cross gables, typical of the Gothic Revival Style
The original cladding is oak board and batten (extant) hidden under aluminum siding
Original front door and hardware
Original wood flooring, interior doors and woodwork, including newel post, balusters and handrail on staircase
