Description

This 3 storey concrete Second Empire dwelling is located at 015 Portugal Cove Road St. John's, NL. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.

Valeur patrimoniale

015 Portugal Cove Road has been designated for its aesthetic value.

015 Portugal Cove Road is aesthetically valuable because it is one of the few concrete Second Empire buildings in St. John's. This style is reflected in the Mansard roof, peaked dormer windows, and eaves bracketing. This house is sheathed in concrete brick and stands apart from all other houses in the neighborhood, which have wooden or vinyl exteriors. The industrial appearance is delicately balanced with Second Empire decorative elements such as the covered, open porch with spindles and dainty brackets. This house still has its original main entrance with sidelights and transom. The interrupted Mansard roof is centrally located and peaked dormers flank either side. Eaves brackets and moulded eaves also add to soften the look of this property.
