Walker Farmhouse

Update (July 26, 2018)

TAKE NOTICE that the Council for The Corporation of the Town of Caledon has passed a by-law to designate Walker Farm House as being of cultural heritage value or interest under Section 39 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O 1990, Chapter 0.18.

Update (December 22, 2016)

The Town of Caledon intends to designate 89 Walker Road West as being of cultural heritage value or interest.

The property known municipally as 89 Walker Road West was the Walker farm from possibly as early as 1844 to about 1901.

Walker Road West began as Walker's Lane, an access road between the north edge of the village of Caledon East on the east and this Walker farm to the west.

The property contains a Georgian style stone dwelling built in or about 1863 by James Walker.

This was the second Walker dwelling on the property, the first being a 1840s log house that was abandoned when the stone house was completed.

The rare split level "bank house" form of the stone house, combined with its quality stone craftsmanship and 19th century interior and exterior features, make it an important component of the built heritage of the Town of Caledon.

The stone house and other heritage attributes are existing and archaeological evidence of the evolution of this property as the Walker farmstead.

Further information regarding the heritage attributes and designation of this property is available in the Heritage Resource Office at the Town of Caledon Town Hall.

Any person may, within 30 days of the publication of this notice, send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts.  

If a notice of objection is received, the Council for The Corporation of the Town of Caledon will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and report.
