Heritage Properties Register
The Murney Tower in Macdonald Park is one of four Martello Towers in Kingston
The Ontario Heritage Act requires a Municipality to keep a formal Register of all properties that have been identified to be of cultural heritage value or interest. The City of Kingston Heritage Properties Register, available at right, identifies a number of different types of heritage properties such as World Heritage Sites (Rideau Canal and the Kingston Fortifications), National Historic Sites, Provincial Heritage Properties, properties protected under the Ontario Heritage Act, and "Listed Properties" (also known as Section 27 Properties). It also includes those properties that have been de-designated or demolished.
Developing the Heritage Properties Register
This Register was developed by drawing upon previous inventories from the former City of Kingston, the former Kingston Township, and the former Pittsburgh Township. This website was also created to help interested parties locate heritage properties and learn more about them.
This Register is a dynamic document and is a work in progress. New information is being added on a regular basis. Please note that the information is provided for the purposes of convenience only. For accurate reference, please consult the Planning and Development Department.
Available at right are:
-

Coming Soon: City of Kingston Heritage Properties Register — GIS Mapping
This new feature will allow for a more in-depth exploration of heritage properties in Kingston. The mapping not only will show the different types of heritage properties, but will provide information and photos for each property. The anticipated launch date is Summer 2011.
