Description
Harry Joyce House is a pleasant one-and-a-half storey house built in 1910 located on a hilltop on the east side of Front Street in North Quesnel, B.C. The historic place includes the building and the parcel of land it occupies.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Harry Joyce House holds social and cultural value as a physical reminder of the people who shaped the development of Quesnel.
The house is named for Henry (Harry) Culling Joyce who was a well-known contractor who built many of the buildings in the early days of Quesnel. Harry was born in Cornwall in 1874 and came to Quesnel in 1907. Harry was one of the first people to cross the Fraser River on the new cable ferry in 1910. His wife, Clara Baker was also an important figure in the community, often caring for pregnant women who lived outside of Quesnel when they were close to their delivery date, as the house was across the street from the hospital.
