OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

212 High Park Avenue is a 2.5 storey Edwardian four square house that was constructed in 1913. It's located in the former city of York. The property sits on a grassy lot surrounded by elm trees and neighboured by heritage-designated properties constructed in the 1890-1900s.

The Edwardian four square house developed as a reaction to the emergence of streetcar suburbs, It represents a shift from the ornate Victorian style to an era of simplicity, ulility, and modern city planning.

Key elements that define the heritage character of the building's exterior include:

  • Traditional red brick sourced from local brickyard
  • Simple rectangular form with gabled roof and wooden gable siding under roof’s peak
  • Asymmetric façade with bay windows spanning first two floors 
  • Front porch with brick columned flat roof

Notable changes to its outer construction are failrly minimal, but include shingle replacement, front porch railing replacement in 2014, and double hung windows replaced with casement windows in 2014.
