2628 St. George Street

This residence is significant for its location within the Moody Centre residential area. It is situated at the edge of the buildable slope north of the downtown area, an indication of the original edge of the city's expansion to the south. The city is naturally constrained by water and steeply-sloping topography, and as it grew, the residential area, adjacent to the downtown area, expanded up the Chines as far up as houses could easily be constructed. The house has expansive views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains.

2628 St. George Street is valued as a representative of typical wood-frame bungalows built during the interwar period. The home's simplicity illustrates a shift to traditional domestic styles, reflecting the social and economic consciousness of the interwar period. At the time, houses were expected to display some sort of historical reference in order to demonstrate the owner's good taste. An efficient and rational floor plan, including rooms closely arranged around a central hallway, reflected the reality that most families could no longer afford domestic help. It is significant that 2628 St. George Street has been altered through the application of siding and replacement windows.
