St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church | 25 Bald Street
This red-brick, single-storey church was designed by George Ross, and built in 1899 to replace a smaller church that was located on Church Street. It exhibits characteristics of both Norman and Italianate styles of architecture. Notice the tall octagonal "broach" spire, semi-circular arched windows and elaborately bracketed western entrance. Designated in 1990.
Schooley House | 33 Frazer Street
This two-storey dwelling built in the early 1900's, has over the years, provided a home for two prominent Welland residents, Dr. Jay Schooley and merchant Hugh Alexander Rose. The house is a fine example of Italianate "cube" design, characterized by a square plan, hipped roof, eave brackets and corner quoins.
Rose-Rohaly House | 41 Frazer Street
This imposing, three-storey residence was built circa 1906 for Colonel Hugh Rose II and remodelled circa 1920 in Tudor Revival style, characterized by exposed timbers with stucco infill and by multi-panes windows. Similar characteristics are evident on the accompanying coach house.
Hooker House | 33 Maple Street
This two-storey, Ontario vernacular structure, built in 1856-57 for Thaddeus W. Hooker, prominent Welland citizen, may have been first brick house built in Welland. Hooker immigrated to Canada in 1855 and established a brick manufacturing plant south of Hooker Street, on the site of the Welland Historical Museum and the Welland Tennis Club. Hooker's business prospered, producing much of the brick used in the construction of Welland's commercial and residential structures, most notably in the construction of the Court House. Designated in 1991.
