Description du lieu patrimonial
The Lockhart-Moogk House is located at 289 Simcoe Street, at the corner of Simcoe Street and Gage Street. The two storey house was built in 1817.
The Lockhart-Moogk House was designated in 1997 by the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake for its heritage value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 3168-97).
Valeur patrimoniale
Built in 1817, the Lockhart Moogk House stands proudly as one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's oldest homes. The property, known locally as “Storrington”, is representative of the rebuilding of Niagara after much of it was burned during the War of 1812. The house is named for its original owner and builder, Adam Lockhart, a well-known merchant, banker, ship owner, and one-time secretary of the Niagara Harbour and Dock Company.
The house is characteristic of the Niagara region, with Georgian style architecture arranged symmetrically around five bays at the front. The two storey structure features a gable roof with two end chimneys, a centre hall plan and a rear one-and-a-half storey wing. The house is constructed of brick, and now finished in smooth stucco jointed to imitate cut stone probably an early finish to protect the masonry.
The building retains its original twelve over twelve sash windows and a six-panelled door. The entrance doorcase displays much-divided sidelights and transom. Original interior detail includes two mantelpieces, architraves to openings, doors and the staircase. Additional trim and joinery, by Carl Banke, was added in order to complement the original.
