226 Barrie Street

The house located mid-block on the west side at 226 Barrie St. was built around 1880 in the Gothic Revival style. It is a 1½-storey, ‘L’-shaped building has large window openings with high floor to ceiling heights. The house has a medium-pitched, gable roof, an asymmetrical plan, and a wrap-around porch. Original 2/2 wood, sash windows with wood lug sills have modern aluminum storm windows. The large, ground-floor window is a replacement. There is elaborately-carved bargeboard trim at the front gable and brackets at the porch. The house has load-bearing, brick masonry construction and a stone foundation. According to the 2000 inventory, the balcony handrail, replacement doors and windows, and the garage addition are unsympathetic with the original design. (1, 3)

250 Barrie Street - The Stoddart House

The Stoddart House is located at 250 Barrie Street. It was built around 1870 in the Eclectic Neoclassical style. Some of the early settlers in the Bradford area were members of the Stoddard/Stoddart family. John Stoddard settled along the Bond Head Road in 1829. In later times, Major George W. Stoddart was the reeve of Bradford.
The two-storey building has a rectangular form and a centre hall plan. There is a symmetry in the large window openings (with high floor to ceiling heights). The double-hung windows with painted-wood lug sills are also neoclassical features. The medium-pitched, hip roof, wrap-around porch (with original turned wood post supports), and remaining wood brackets and decorative trim are Regency Revival features. A projecting, bay window at the ground-floor living (or dining) room is a Gothic Revival feature. The house has solid, brick construction and a stone foundation. According to the 2000 inventory, the metal screen door at the entrance is unsympathetic to the original design. It was also notes that the porch needed repair. (1, 3)
