The register’s text, word for word

Description

211 Seventh Avenue is situated on a wide lot on the north side of Seventh Avenue between Second and Fourth Streets in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood of New Westminster.

Heritage value

The house at 211 Seventh Avenue is valued for its age and architectural style.

Constructed in 1912, this house is a representation of the end of the building boom that swept the Lower Mainland during the years 1910 to 1913.

It is an excellent example of a Craftsman bungalow cottage. Of particular note are the following design elements: cross-gabled house form with open front verandah and sleeping porch, large wood columns on verandah, narrow bevel siding, roof brackets and half timbering under the gable ends.
