Probably the most prevalent Cabbagetown style, most were built in the later 1880s during a strong economic and population boom. Practically every Cabbagetown street has its share of elegant Bay & Gables.
Note:
- Strong vertical emphasis in which the lines of the bay, together with the narrow openings, draw the eye to the crowning gable and its vigorous display of carved gable board and supporting brackets.
- Unique to Southern Ontario is its combination of varied gable ornamentation, red and yellow brick and two or four light sash windows.
- Half-glazed panelled and transomed entrance doors.
- Variations: half Bay & Gable where the bay fronts only the ground floor often capped by an open fretwork dwarf parapet, and/or by a quasi-mansard roof in tin or copper.
