Statement of Significance

20 Cohuna Street is of local historical and architectural Significance. A local landmark, it is a good example of an Italianate mansion, and one of the few such examples in Brunswick. Its conversion to institutional use-in this case a Salvation Army hospital and home-reflects a common use of such mansions (e.g. Wiseman House, Glenroy; Oak Park, Oak Parksee datasheets) in an era when benevolent institutions played a most important social role in providing charity to women and children.
