Description du lieu patrimonial
The Adare House is a Municipal Heritage Property situated prominently at 711 Wolseley Avenue in the Town of Grenfell. The property features a 2 ½-storey wood-frame Queen Anne Revival style residence constructed in 1904. The building is surrounded by a large, landscaped lawn on a corner lot.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Adare House lies in its association with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fitz-Gerald. An important early citizen in the community, Mr. Fitz-Gerald was a businessman, postmaster, newspaper publisher and founder of Grenfell’s first publicly-accessible library. Constructed in 1904, the Adare House was not just the family’s residence but also a showcase of the many types of lumber sold in the Fitz-Gerald lumberyard. The large, landscaped lawn surrounding the house enhanced the prominence of the property within the community.
The heritage value of the property also lies in its subdued Queen Anne Revival architecture. This is reflected in the building’s central turret, spacious verandah, balcony, gable roof with dormer windows and asymmetrical composition. The interior of the property is decorated with period furniture which pays tribute to the Grenfell pioneers and preserves their history.
