Description du lieu patrimonial
The Ledingham Residence is a two-storey, late Victorian style building located in one of Nanaimo's oldest residential neighbourhoods. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built around 1902, the Ledingham Residence is a very good example of vernacular, transitional style; from Late Victorian carpenter ornamentation to Edwardian symmetry and boxiness. The building displays some unusual features. The symmetrical massing is emphasized by twin projecting front bays on the ground floor that are joined by a continuous hip roof to form a covered porch over the central front entry. Decorative fish-scale shingling is used in the front gable.
The Ledingham Residence is significant as one of few surviving historic buildings in this immediate area that recalls its early identity as a prestigious residential neighbourhood. Over time, other single family residences in the area were replaced with apartment blocks, multiple family housing and institutional buildings.
The Ledingham Residence's height and strong and unusual facade design make it a neighbourhood landmark.
