Description

731 Fourth Street is a two-storey wood-frame house situated on the east side of Fourth Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood of New Westminster.

Heritage value

731 Fourth Street is valued for its age and architectural design.

Constructed in 1901, this house is one of only two left in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood that were built in that year, which makes it a rare example of a 1901 house in the neighbourhood. It is one of only nine 1901 houses left in the entire city.

731 Fourth Street is valued for its architectural elements, such as the shingle work (especially the decorative work in the upper portion of the front gable), detail wood trim around the windows on the south and west sides, and its original bevel siding.
