Description du lieu patrimonial
515 St. George Street is a modest house with a front-gabled roof and gabled front verandah, located mid-block on St. George Street in New Westminster.
Valeur patrimoniale
The two-storey (plus basement) house at 515 St. George Street is valued for its age and architectural style.
It is a good example of the modest homes that were built in the Craftsman style, primarily for the middle class residents of New Westminster. The house was originally owned by carpenter Robert Adams and was located at 1114 Eighth Avenue. Its move, in 2002, to its present location on the western half of 513 St. George Street is indicative of the heritage advocacy in New Westminster, in which valued heritage homes are relocated to save them from demolition.
The house was largely stripped of its Craftsman features when it was deemed unwanted and an application for demolition was made. Its historic value prompted its relocation and the Craftsman details were painstakingly restored, bringing this house back to its charming and authentic design.
