Description du lieu patrimonial
The Hall Residence is a Municipal Heritage Property located on one civic lot at 431 Dennis Street in the Town of Herbert. The property features a two-storey, wood-sided house, which was constructed in 1912, with second-storey front verandah.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Hall Residence resides in its connection to long-time Herbert residents and the early history of the community. Constructed in 1912 for Mary Rankel by her husband, Albert, the property is one of the earliest homes in Herbert and was a local landmark. The Rankels farmed and operated a butcher shop in Herbert. The house was used as a medical clinic during the 1920s and then sold to Anna K. Andres and her family in about 1945. After her husband passed away, Mrs. Andres converted the home into a boarding house. Henry and Mary Hall purchased the house in 1976 and sold it in 2005.
The heritage value of the property also resides in its American Foursquare architectural style. These two or 2½-storey houses, common throughout the Great Plains during the early-twentieth century, featured a symmetrical square plan with four rooms on each floor, a central staircase, and low hip roof with deep overhang. A full-width front verandah with second-storey balcony completes the house.
The heritage value of the property also lies in the property’s adaptive re-use of construction materials and in the evolution of the property to meet the changing needs of its residents. Since finished lumber was expensive and scarce due to the building boom on the Prairies at the time, materials for the Rankel house were salvaged from other buildings, such as the interior doors from a hotel in the area which was being demolished. Subsequent owners have added an interior bathroom and enclosed the original rear porch and converted it into a kitchen. A fieldstone retaining wall was constructed along the front of the property during the 1930s as a relief project.
