Description du lieu patrimonial
The Shaw Residence is a one and one half storey, Edwardian building located on the main street of one of Nanaimo's oldest neighbourhoods. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Shaw Residence is a good example of a building that takes full advantage of its hillside site. Located at the crest of a long, gentle slope that rises from the harbour, the building's east facing windows provide views of the harbour and distant mountains while the front entry faces a less attractive view of the street.
Built in 1910-11, the Shaw Residence is a very good example of a modest Craftsman style bungalow. Long and low in form, this simple building features a few decorative elements typical of the Craftsman style including a stained glass panel in the second floor window, triangular brackets under the porch roof and double-hung wooden sash windows.
The Shaw Residence is part of a significant cluster of exceptionally intact and well maintained historic buildings in this neighbourhood.
