Description du lieu patrimonial
The Isabella McPherson Residence is situated on the north side of St. George Street in the historic neighbourhood of Queen’s Park, in New Westminster. It consists of a large two-and-one-half storey, wood-frame, front-gabled house, with fish-scale shingles in the gable peak, wooden drop siding, and a full-width open front verandah.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Isabella McPherson House, built in 1892, is valued for its association with the earliest development of the historic Queen’s Park neighbourhood. The historic character of Queen’s Park is based on its consistent streetscapes of fine restored homes.
Symmetrical in form, this house is also significant as an example of vernacular late Victorian-era housing stock, featuring modest details, such as fish-scale shingling in the gable peak. This house was originally associated with the McPherson family.
