Description

Victoria Manor is a two-and-a-half storey Tudor styled house with a multi-gabled roof. Located on the corner of Victoria Street and Harvey Street, the designation is confined to the footprint of the building.

Valeur patrimoniale

Victoria Manor has been designated a Registered Heritage building because of its historic and architectural value.

Historically, Victoria Manor is important because of its associations with noted carpenter, James Hutchings. Believed to have arrived in Newfoundland with a group of stonemasons, Hutchings, a master woodworker, combined his skills with those of the stonemasons to build some of the more impressive stone buildings in Harbour Grace. In 1830, Hutchings built Victoria Manor and resided there until 1860, at which time he moved to St. John’s.

Located in one of Harbour Grace’s wealthier neighbourhoods, Victoria Manor is a fine example of the high-style construction that took place there during the early 1800s. Having been influenced by resurgence of the Tudor style, James Hutchings used techniques and detailing reflective of the style when building Victoria Manor. The exterior of the house is covered in narrow clapboard, laid in a decorative, diagonal pattern. The multi-gabled roof and label moulding around the windows are also characteristic of the Tudor style.
