Hintonburg

About The Hintonburg Heritage Project

Hintonburg is a lively, diverse and walkable community, with quiet residential neighbourhoods and a vibrant main street. But what we see today is just the current fringe of a long, varied historical tapestry. Hintonburg has always been a place to live and work, but it has also been a centre for manufacturing, filmmaking, and business. Its heritage buildings bear witness to this varied past.

These projects dig into that history. They were done by students in a fourth-year seminar in Carleton University’s History & Theory of Architecture Program in the winter of 2024, in partnership with Jeanne Inch and Linda Hoad from the Heritage Committee of the Hintonburg Community Association. This remains a work in progress – more will be added, so watch this space.

If Hintonburg’s walls could talk, these are some of the stories they’d tell.
