Cumberland Historical Society: Heritage Significant
Properties of Ottawa's Rural East
Société historique de Cumberland : Propriétés
ayant une valeur patrimoniale importante dans la partie est du secteur rural
d’Ottawa
Ms. Jeannie Smith, Cumberland Historical Society and member of
the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum Board, provided a presentation on
heritage significant properties in Cumberland Ward. She distributed a booklet entitled, “Cumberland Heritage:
Heritage Buildings of Cumberland Township” (held on file with the Advisory
Committee Coordinator) and provided numerous pictures, newspaper clippings and
other documents pertaining to the area.
Ms. Smith explained that the Village of
Cumberland was first surveyed in 1789 and provided an overview of buildings in
the village. She noted that the Wilson
House was the family home of the first female representative in the Canadian
Senate, Cairine Wilson and Clearview House, now the Heritage Restaurant was
built for Dr. Ferguson, Ms. Smith’s great grandfather. Dunning General Store (now owned by the
Haddad family) was built in 1876 and faces Maple Hall, built in 1902. She commented that many of the structures
are clad in red brick and the former Cumberland LACAC extensively documented
structures in the Village of Cumberland in 1982. She also discussed the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum and the
many structures, which were moved there.
Ms. Smith reviewed the history and buildings of
other villages in the former township of Cumberland, including Sarsfield, a
typical French Canadian Village with St. Hughes Catholic Church, built in 1880,
which is the focal point of the village along with its stone manse. Bearbrook includes the Hays House, which has
received designation under the Ontario Heritage Act and Trinity Anglican Church
at the intersection of Russell and Dunning Roads. She briefly discussed the villages of Notre-Dame des Champs and
Carlsbad Springs, the home of a famous spa in the 1860-80s, which is no longer
standing. The delegation reviewed the heritage structures of the Villages of
Navan (Shaw House, Bradley’s General Store, St. Mary’s Anglican Church and
others) as well as Vars, the former industrial haven of early Cumberland
Township.
In closing, Ms. Smith volunteered to act as a
guide during LACAC’s tour of Ottawa’s Rural East in the fall of 2003 and
suggested LACAC communicate its role and the benefits of designation in this
part of the new City of Ottawa. Member
L. McGovern thanked the delegation for her presentation and noted it was a
great overview of sites in the area.
