Description

Set on a prominent corner lot at Fourth Street and Eighth Avenue in New Westminster’s Uptown neighbourhood, the Matthias Residence is a one-and-one-half storey, wood-frame Edwardian-era house. Notable features include a complex, multi-pitched roofline, a corner porch with lathe-turned balusters and tapered columns, and a stained glass window. This building is currently utilized as a daycare facility.

Valeur patrimoniale

Built 1911, this historic dwelling is valued as a representation of the type of modest housing built in the Uptown neighbourhood of New Westminster during the Edwardian-era boom.

Furthermore, the Matthias Residence is valued for its Edwardian-era architecture. A complex multi-pitched roofline characterizes this house, consisting of a hipped roof with front-gabled projection with closed cornice return, and a shed dormer on the east elevation. A corner porch with wooden balustrade and tapered piers denotes the entry to the house. Contrasting materials of vertical wooden siding near the roof and narrow wooden lapped siding give a distinct pattern to the exterior.
