Description du lieu patrimonial
The Hall Residence is a one and one-half storey plus basement Craftsman style residence, located in a low-density residential neighbourhood. The house is distinguished by the extensive use of masonry and its sophisticated design details.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Hall Residence is valued as a very good example of the Craftsman style and for its notable use of masonry construction. The first storey is constructed entirely of rough-dressed random ashlar granite blocks, with heavy stone sills and lintels, a segmented arch over one side window and a stone chimney. The masonry construction of this house is particularly significant because the residential application of masonry was rare, especially in a house of this modest scale. Given the abundant timber resources in the region, residential structures were primarily built of wood.
It was constructed between 1910 and 1912 for Herbert C.V. Hall, a local real estate broker, but there is no evidence that he ever occupied the house. Rampant speculation in real estate during the Edwardian boom era often produced spectacular, but short-lived returns. By 1912, Hall was living in reduced circumstances at the Colonial Apartments, and his fate after that is unknown.
