Description du lieu patrimonial

111 Water Street is located on the south side of Water Street, east of Nile Street, in the City of Stratford. The two storey buff brick residence was constructed in 1902.

Valeur patrimoniale

Constructed in 1902, 111 Water Street is a good example of the Edwardian Classicism style of architecture. Typical of this style is the balanced facade, simplified but large hip roof, smooth brick surfaces and generous fenestration. The residence's most distinctive features are the bandstand style veranda with steep conical roof and the fish scale shingling on the front gable.
