Valeur patrimoniale
The Crystal Cottage at 35 Chatham Street is an exceptional example of a late 19th century Brantford vernacular cottage. Typical of this style is the one storey, rectangular house plan and medium gable roof. The Crystal Cottage has its name inscribed on the front facade and is descriptive of its unique glass bottle architectural detail. The Crystal Cottage incorporates intricate bargeboard beneath the gable and eaves. The cottage features original wood window frames and shutters. Red brick accents the windows and doors. The radiating voussoirs, above the windows and doors, enhances the brick and bottle detail.
