Description du lieu patrimonial
The Wilkinson Residence is a two storey, Edwardian style building located in one of Nanaimo's oldest residential neighbourhoods. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built in 1913, the Wilkinson Residence is Nanaimo's premiere example of the eclectic design trends of the Edwardian era. The Craftsman-influenced river rock foundation, Classical style porch columns and Edwardian era vertical proportions of the building are evidence of this trend. The building is further distinguished by a two-storey high rounded turret on the front facade, stained glass window panels and sidelights and a roofed second floor balcony.
The Wilkinson Residence's corner location and height and mass make it a highly visible neighbourhood landmark.
The Wilkinson Residence speaks to the area's growth, after the turn of the 20th century, as a middle to upper income residential neighbourhood, a comfortable distance from the busy commercial core and adjacent mixed-use neighbourhoods.
