Description du lieu patrimonial
The Gill Residence, East 6th Street is a two-storey wood-frame house distinguished by modest Craftsman detailing, a second-storey porch and unique gable screen. The house is located in a residential context of single-family houses.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Gill Residence, East 6th Street, is valued for its eclectic architecture. It features elements characteristic of Edwardian-era design, with an unusual blend of typical Craftsman style detailing that was still fashionable. This house therefore reflects the transition that was occurring in architectural styles at the time.
Built as a speculative investment by Archibald McAllister (1849-1944), proprietor of the North Vancouver Lumber Company, this house is also valued as a representation of residential development from North Vancouver's early history. Built in 1915, it is one of the few houses to be have been constructed on the North Shore during WW1, following the collapse of the building boom and a general financial depression in 1913. The first residents were Joseph Gill (1879-1939) and his wife, Ethel Gill (1880-1949).
