The register’s text, word for word
Description
810 Hudson Street consists of a two-storey side-gabled house, which is elevated above the surrounding country and beautified with formal gardens and hardwood trees.
Heritage value
Constructed by Howard L. Debeck in 1908, 810 Hudson Street is valued for its historic associations with early local land development and orcharding.
Debeck was a New Westminster businessman and lumber merchant who invested in the Okanagan. As the first house built on the bench after the irrigation system was completed, it is indicative of early domestic settlement intended to support agricultural endeavours. Originally a one-storey home, its composite design provides a good example of a substantial colonial revival house and the evolution of a farm house over nearly a century.
The house is also notable as an example of the type of dwelling and picturesque location associated with the wealthy merchant class of the era.
