Description du lieu patrimonial
The Grant Residence is a wood-frame Craftsman bungalow set within a residential context. Located on a corner, an infill house has been constructed in the original rear yard of the house.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Grant Residence is valued as a very good example of the influence of the Craftsman style, the most popular housing style in the Lower Mainland in the early twentieth century. The Craftsman style was typified by rational space planning, the use of natural materials and a mix of traditional design elements inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, such as picturesque rooflines, decorative brackets and a rich textural contrast of siding and shingles. Characteristic of the style, the design of this house includes tapered verandah piers, exposed purlins and rafters, triangular eave brackets and multi-paned upper window sashes.
The Grant Residence illustrates gradual economic recovery that followed the end of the First World War, and also the late persistence of the popularity of the Craftsman style. John G. Grant, a blacksmith, hired local contractor Fred J. King to build this house in 1923.
