15 Queen Street
The Atkinson-Lake House
Built in the 1880s, the two-storey vernacular residence features a gable roof, a one-storey covered porch, and frame construction. Architectural elements include flat-headed window openings on both floors, a front entryway beneath the porch, a one-storey projecting bay with three windows on the southwest side, and twin gable peaks on the second storey.
The property holds historical significance due to its connection to early Georgetown settlers and its contribution to the area's architectural landscape.
According to the town's Notice of Intention to Designate, the property has "physical and design, historical and associative, and contextual value," and therefore meets Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest.
While the two-storey rear addition, one-storey detached garage and interiors are not considered heritage attributes, the note says the original structure remains an important example of late 19th-century residential design in the community.
