Description du lieu patrimonial
The historic place is the one-and-one-half-storey wood-framed G. Davis House, built in 1923 and located at 1927 Ethel Street in Kelowna's South Central neighbourhood.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the G. Davis House is found primarily in its being a good, although altered, example of second-generation Craftsman Bungalow architecture built during the inter-war period of growth.
Although the entrance porch appears to be a later addition, the form of the original one-and-one-half-storey building is clearly visible behind it. The gabled roof with a large central dormer resembles the Craftsman Bungalow that reached its peak in the previous decade.
This house was built in 1923 by A. Cather for George and Annie Davis. George Davis is identified from 1936 to 1947 as a 'farmer', although this property was by no means a farm. He and Annie moved elsewhere around 1946, and in 1948 he was listed as retired.
