Valeur patrimoniale

Built in 1891, the Humphrey Jones Residence is valued for its association with the earliest, Victorian-era development of the West End in New Westminster.

The Humphrey Jones Residence is additionally significant as a representative example of vernacular working-class housing, typical of the late Victorian era.
