Heritage Value

It survives as a good example of a St. John's row house constructed in the period following the Great Fire of 1892. This house features many details that add to its Second Empire style, such as the eaves bracketing with moulded drops, dentils along the pediments above the main doors, above the bow window at the eave and even along the window at the front. The bow window also has a paneled base. This house also has a pedimented dormer which is located above the eaves.
