Le texte du répertoire, mot pour mot

Description

The Hayes Residence is a modest, one-storey vernacular building located in one of Nanaimo's oldest mixed-use neighbourhoods, just south of the downtown core. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.

Valeur patrimoniale

Built around 1920, the Hayes Residence is a superior example of the type of simple bungalow that proliferated in Nanaimo's working-class neighbourhoods. The form is reduced to the essentials; a hipped roof caps a rectangular plan, relieved by an inset entry porch with square chamfered columns. Otherwise minimally embellished, the coloured art glass panels used in the upper window sash provide some relief from austerity.

The building's corner location on the main thoroughfare of this neighbourhood makes it a prominent landmark in one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods.
