Description

Situated on the south side of Third Avenue in the historic Brow of the Hill neighbourhood in New Westminster, the Moir Residence is a two-storey, wood-frame Edwardian-era Foursquare house, characterized by its bellcast hipped roof, full-width open front verandah and multi-paned windows. It is part of a streetscape of compatible historic houses.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Moir Residence is significant for its association with the Edwardian-era development of the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood.

Built in 1915 for Robert A. and Jane Moir, the house is unusual for its date of wartime construction, that demonstrates the boom in the food supply industries that occurred during the First World War. Rising food costs brought an unexpected prosperity to many farmers and fishermen.
