Description du lieu patrimonial
The Spence Residence is a one-and-one-half storey eclectic Edwardian-era building located in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, south of the downtown core. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built around 1918, the Spence Residence is a very good example of an eclectic Edwardian design. The sophisticated design has unusual features, most notably the distinctive scalloped inset arch over the second floor balcony.
The building’s height, mass and location among much smaller, newer and more modest homes make it a distinctive neighbourhood landmark.
