Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
Located on Park Row in the historic Queen’s Park neighbourhood in New Westminster, the Ellen Rogers Residence is a one-and-one-half storey, wood-frame house with a wraparound verandah, a second-storey porch, and a gabled dormer over the front entry.
Heritage Value
Constructed in 1909, the Ellen Rogers Residence is significant for its association with the Edwardian-era development of Queen's Park. The historic character of Queen’s Park is based on its consistent streetscapes of fine restored homes, augmented by mature landscaping.
Typical of middle-class, Edwardian-era housing in Queen’s Park, this house is additionally valued for its association with original owner Ellen Rogers. In addition, it is a fine example of an Edwardian-era residential house, and is particularly noted for its steeply-pitched side-gabled roof with front gable dormer, its second-floor porch over the front entry and its wraparound verandah.
