Holy Trinity Anglican Church | 77 Division Street
This church, erected in 1877, is the oldest active church in Welland. Architect J. Dunigan designed the Gothic Revival style church. The Tudor style tripartite memorial window and castellated tower at the north end of the building are part of a 1912 addition. The Guild Hall at the rear of the church was constructed in 1909 and later enlarged.
Central Firehall
This Welland landmark, designed by Walter W. LaChance, was built in 1920. The 70-foot high, square, brick tower (which was used to hand dry hoses) is embellished by a four-faced clock.
In 1962, the tower, damaged by fire, was rebuilt using the old brick. Fine classical revival details include carved finials, which resemble fire helmets, above the semi-circular dormer windows. Designated in 1993.
Morwood House | 28-30 Young Street
This eclectically styled house was built over many years starting from 1861 for Richard Morwood a local merchant and politician. The Italianate west wing features broad bracketed eaves and arched windows. However, Gothic, Classical Revival and Queen Anne elements can be seen in the bay windows and decorative carvings. Adjoining properties including the Farmers Market and the Methodist Church (now Central United Church) were part of the original Morwood property.
Église Anglicane Holy Trinity | 77, rue Division
Cette église, construite en 1877, est la plus ancienne église encore active à Welland. Cette église de style néogothique a été conçue par l'architecte J. Dunigan. La grande fenêtre Tudor et la tour crénelée à l'extrémité nord du bâtiment ont été ajoutées en 1912. Le Guild Hall, en arrière de l'église, a été construit en 1909 et agrandi par la suite.
Caserne centrale des pompiers
Ce monument, conçu par Walter W. LaChance, a été construit en 1920. Cette tour carrée en brique, de 70 pieds de hauteur, a été utilisée pour sécher les tuyaux à la main et a été embellie d'une horloge à quatre cadrans.
En 1962, la tour, endommagée par le feu, a été reconstruite en utilisant de la vieille brique. De fins détails néo-classiques sont visibles sur la caserne, notamment les fleurons sculptés, qui ressemblent à des caques de pompier, au-dessus des lucarnes semi-circulaires. Désignée en 1993.
Maison Morwood | 28-30, rue Young
Cette maison de style éclectique, dont la construction a commencé en 1861 et a continué pendant plusieurs années, a été bâtie pour Richard Morwood, un marchand local et un politicien. L'aile ouest de style italien comprend de larges gouttières et des fenêtres arquées. Toutefois, des éléments de style gothique, néo-classique et Queen Anne sont évidents dans les baies vitrées et les sculptures décoratives. Le marché, l'Église méthodiste (maintenant l'Église unie centrale) et d'autres propriétés adjacentes faisaient partie de la propriété originale Morwood.
