Description du lieu patrimonial
The Thomas & Mary Hood Residence is a two-storey, wood-frame front-gabled Victorian-era residence, situated on the south side of Seventh Avenue, in the historic Moody Park neighbourhood in New Westminster. The house features a corner entry, three-sided projecting bay and fish-scale shingling.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built circa 1891, the Thomas & Mary Hood Residence is valued for its association with the late Victorian-era development of the Moody Park neighbourhood. At the time this house was constructed, Moody Park was relatively remote from downtown, but presented desirable building sites for families of modest means.
The Thomas & Mary Hood Residence illustrates a typical middle-class house of the Victorian era. A simple, boxy form is elaborated with a projecting front bay and front entry porch. Pride in home ownership is demonstrated through the use of decorative elements that embellish the front of the house. An extension to the rear of the house demonstrates adaptation over time to suit changing owners and the need for more space. The first owner was Thomas Hood (1861-1921), who was a local New Westminster carpenter, and may have built this modest home. Both he and his wife, Mary Grace Hood (1865-1949), were originally from Newfoundland.
