Description du lieu patrimonial

Situated on a south-facing sloping site in a residential neighbourhood, the Logan Residence is a two-storey plus basement wood-frame Streamline Moderne residence clad in stucco. This is one of the very few residences in North Vancouver built in this style. It has been moved forward from its original location, and incorporated as part of a townhouse development.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Logan Residence is valued for its association with the development boom set off by the sudden influx of workers for shipbuilding and other defence projects during the Second World War. Despite the wartime restrictions on civilian building, hundreds of residences were built in North Vancouver at this time. Although many of these houses were built to standard plans, some, such as this house, were custom designed.

The Logan Residence is valued for its Streamline Moderne architecture, which reflected a shift away from traditional architecture in the mid-twentieth century. This style heralded the new machine age that embraced modern technology, as reflected in its long horizontal lines, implying speed and aerodynamics. One of the key influences on the Streamline Moderne was the image of the sleek ocean liners of the 1930s, and a nautical theme is implied in the house through the use of curving forms and porthole windows. Hal Norman was the designer for the Streamline Construction Company, the contractors for this home.
