Description du lieu patrimonial
The Hansbrough Residence is a one and one-half storey wood-frame house which features a full-width open verandah. This Edwardian-era house is located mid-block, in the East 10th Street cluster of historic houses.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built in 1912, the Hansbrough Residence provides evidence of the intense speculative development that occurred on East 10th Street and in North Vancouver during the 'Boom Years' of the early twentieth century. After regular ferry service was established in 1903 and the city was incorporated in 1907, North Vancouver experienced a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity. This construction boom accelerated until a general financial depression in 1913 halted this ambitious suburban development.
Modestly detailed, the Hansbrough Residence illustrates the nature of early residential architecture in North Vancouver, built to house the area's burgeoning middle-class such as its first residents, contractor William Wirt Hansbrough (1875-1917), and his wife, Elizabeth. The front gabled roof house features design elements typical of the period.
