Description

Set against a sloping backdrop of dense mature coniferous trees, the Gilfillan Residence is a modest, one and one-half storey wood-frame Craftsman-influenced bungalow, set on a ground-level basement. It is located within the low-density residential Pleasantside neighbourhood of Port Moody, adjacent to the road to Ioco, the early Imperial Oil company town.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Gilfillan Residence is valued as a reflection of the early development of Port Moody outside of the immediate vicinity of Moody Centre. This house reflects the growth of Ioco, the company town developed by Imperial Oil near its refinery on the north shore of Burrard Inlet. After Ioco Road was opened in 1925, new residents, many of whom were Ioco employees, settled in the Pleasantside neighbourhood. This house is one of the earliest surviving houses in the area.

Built in 1932 for James B. Gilfillan and Mrs. I. Gilfillan, this house is valued as a typical example of working class housing from the Depression era. James Gilfillan had previously lived in Ioco, where he was the proprietor of the Ioco Grocery and Ioco Transfer. At the time he built this house, he was a millworker at the McNair Shingle Mill and the proprietor of the Old Orchard Picnic Grounds. Modest in scale and character, this house demonstrates the late persistence of the influence of the Craftsman style on local residential architecture.
