Description du lieu patrimonial
The historic place is a two-storey (plus basement) single-family Craftsman Bungalow at 1101 Hamilton Street. Built between 1911 and 1913, it is located on a single residential lot in the Moody Park neighbourhood. The house features a gabled roof, large dormers on the front and rear elevations (the latter probably a later addition), and is finished with wood siding. The lot is level. A single-car detached garage is located at the rear of the property, accessed from the lane, which is named Kingston Street. It has a gabled roof and lap siding.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built between 1911 and 1913, 1101 Hamilton Street is representative of the development that happened in the years before World War I, filling in most lots in Moody Park below Eighth Avenue. It is representative of speculatively-built houses, this one constructed by business partners Thomas McCullough and Horace Gostick, who built many others throughout the city.
1101 Hamilton Street has value for having features of the Craftsman (or ‘California’) bungalow, just as the style was being introduced to the Lower Mainland. Features of the style include the gable roof, front-facing dormer, porch, and especially the use of crafted-wood elements.
The house, which is somewhat larger and has more ‘style’ than many others built at the time, represents a home for the business class. Donald S. Rashleigh, Manager of the South Branch People’s Trust and Secretary of the New Westminster Business Men’s Association, lived here with Frances Mary Rashleigh, who held the deed to the property from 1914 to 1917.
1101 Hamilton Street has a high level of integrity, having undergone little exterior change over the years. The large rear-facing shed dormer may be a later addition.
