Description du lieu patrimonial

Located on the north side of the street, just west of Foster Creek, 210 King Street West is a two-storey frame house. The main house was constructed in the 1830s while the additions were built later on. Originally located in historic Newcastle Village it is now part of the Municipality of Clarington.

210 King Street West has been recognized for its heritage value by the Municipality of Clarington, By-law 95-30.

Valeur patrimoniale

The lot which now accommodates 210 King Street West was part of a Crown grant to Captain John McGill. McGill sold this lot to Robert Baldwin, one of Clarke Township's earliest settlers, in 1801. It was later owned by Major David Bennett, who named it "The Hollows."

210 King Street West illustrates the progression of residential architecture in Newcastle Village in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A significant example of early homestead building, the oldest section of this frame house dates from the 1830s and is now located behind a two-storey Edwardian addition constructed by Newcastle Master Carpenter John Poole in the early 1900s. Incorporating elements from separate periods in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the house demonstrates the progression of architectural style and design throughout a long period of time, in the history of Newcastle Village.
