Description du lieu patrimonial
613 St. George Street is a one storey Queen Anne Revival house located in Annapolis Royal, NS. Its distinctive bracketed eave overhang and recessed porch with curved roof tower set it apart from the other nearby residential heritage properties. The designation includes the building and surrounding property.
Valeur patrimoniale
613 St. George Street is valued as an excellent Queen Ann Revival style architecture in a single storey residential building. The house was built in 1921 by Frank W. Pickels for Lena Pickels. Prior to the building’s construction, the property was owned by Dr. Augustus Robinson, a local physician and municipal politician. Queen Ann Revival homes are not uncommon in Annapolis Royal, however the style used in a one-storey home is somewhat unusual. The most notable feature of the house is the recessed porch with a conical shaped tower with a wooden finial. It contributes to the St. George streetscape that is comprised of dozens of wood framed, heritage homes.
