More Information
Constructed in 1950, this west-facing home is an example of one of the two, two-storey models constructed in the Silver Heights suburb. The style is traditional and symmetrical, and a play on a common centre-plan design. The primary public entrance of the home is sited in the centre of the street-facing elevation, with a gable-roof, clad in asphalt shingle, running parallel to the street. Two large operable front windows, mirrored in the living room and the dining room, complete the front elevation.
The home was originally finished in white stucco on the lower level and painted wood siding on the second-storey, although the finish material on the upper level has been replaced with vinyl siding.
