William T. Conklin House

189 Main Street West, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 1H7

Description

William Thomas Conklin was a respected Kingsville resident and an astute businessman - a lumberman, real estate developer of lakefront property, and investor. The William T. Conklin House was built in 1923. It was designed by American architect Albert Gardner Wood, Jr. who descended from a line of architects dating back to 1610. The house is predominately Georgian Revival. This style was a clear reaction against excessively elaborate Victorian Queen Anne architecture. A second major component of the design is Italian Revival.

Key architectural features include:
Rectangular-shaped 2-storey plan and four-window facade
Low-pitched, hipped roof with green-glazed, clay barrel tiles
Raised cut fieldstone foundation
Multi-coloured brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern
Wide stone course bands and stone window sills
Paneled front door flanked with sidelites and capped by an elaborate entablature
Side entrance with classic Italian arches, an elegant adaptation of the porte-cochère
Widely-overhanging eaves with large, ornate, paired cornice brackets
