Description
Patrick Gorman Residence is located on Charlotte Street in the Trinity Royal area of the City of Saint John. It is a two storey split-level wooden building with two buildings conjoined.
Heritage value
Patrick Gorman Residence is designated a Local Historic Place for its architecture and for being the fromer residence of Patrick J. Gorman.
Patrick Gorman Residence is one of a collection of commercial, Italianate and Second Empire buildings that were built between 1877 and 1881 after two thirds of the City of Saint John was destroyed by the fire in 1877. Although the city of Saint John was rebuilt primarily with brick and stone, this building was constructed in wood with a brick foundation.
Patrick J. Gorman lived in this residence from the late 1800's and early 1900's. He was a meat dealer. In sports, he was an exceptional baseball player. Gorman was the last surviving member of the famous Saint John Shamrocks Baseball Team, champions of the New Brunswick Baseball League in 1891.
The Patrick Gorman Residence was recognized in the City of Saint John Preservation Areas Bylaw in 1982.
