The register’s text, word for word
Description
The Gulliford Residence is a one-and-one-half storey, vernacular English Cottage-style building, located in a residential neighbourhood just north of the downtown core.
Heritage value
Built in 1937, the Gulliford Residence is a good example of the vernacular English Cottage style that flourished in Nanaimo in the interwar years. Simple in form, the building is embellished by leaded-glass windows, dormers, and an arched-front, projecting entry-way rendered in stucco. The building is also significant as an example of the development of in-house garages during this period.
The building’s prominent corner location at a busy intersection makes it a highly visible neighbourhood landmark.
