Description du lieu patrimonial
The Thomas Scott Residence consists of a two-storey, wood-frame residential building situated on a city lot in a mid-block location on a residential street in the historic Strathcona neighbourhood.
Valeur patrimoniale
The 1912 Thomas Scott Residence is significant because of its architecture, which is an excellent example of the four-square style, which became popular during the Edwardian-era. Derived from American Colonial and Classical Revival precedents, it was typified by the use of symmetry and classical detailing.
The Thomas Scott Residence is also significant because of its association with the development of the Strathcona community, one of south Edmonton's oldest settled neighbourhoods, dating from the arrival of the railway in 1892, and a separate city until amalgamation with Edmonton in 1912.
