Description

The Gill Residence is a two and one-half-storey plus basement wood-frame Edwardian era home, grouped with two identical residences, on a residential street in North Vancouver. The historic place includes the building and grounds.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Gill Residence is valued as one of three adjacent Edwardian homes built during the early development boom. Following its incorporation in 1891 as the District of North Vancouver, this area experienced a period of rapid growth and prosperity, until a general financial depression in 1913 halted the ambitious construction of the previous years. Built in 1909, the Gill Residence, named for resident James C. Gill, Reeve of the District of North Vancouver from 1904-1905, and family, along with the adjacent Gladwin and Archibald Residences, was built on a speculative basis by local contractor Benson E. Gladwin (1845-1913).

The Gill Residence is a good and early example of the Foursquare style, which was popular at the time and reflected the affordable and rapid building that occurred during the Edwardian era boom period. This well-preserved group of three houses retains virtually all of its original character and has been recognized as a valuable heritage grouping in the City of North Vancouver.
