Description
The Barn is a one-storey wood-frame structure located adjacent to a multiple unit dwelling on a single residential lot. The Barn fronts onto Pender Street and is situated within a residential area in the Grandview-Woodlands neighbourhood.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Barn lies in its architectural and contextual significance.
The architectural value of the Barn lies in its typical utilitarian design. The wood-frame barn was constructed in approximately 1905. Its architects and builders are unknown. Features include a distinctive 'Boomtown' style false facade and original wooden drop siding. It is presumed to have been either a barn or stable, which served the horses of the neighbourhood's Fire Hall. Presently situated adjacent to a multiple unit dwelling and other forms of residential housing, the Barn is a unique local landmark.
The contextual value of the Barn lies in the way it reflects the evolution of the neighbourhood from a rural area to an inner-city residential neighbourhood over the course of the twentieth century. The Barn has been adapted for use as artists' co-op studios, providing a valuable cultural space in the neighbourhood.
