Description du lieu patrimonial

The Rowe Residence is a two-storey, Edwardian building located in one of Nanaimo's oldest neighbourhoods, just south of the downtown core. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.

Valeur patrimoniale

Built around 1906, the Rowe Residence is a very good example of an Edwardian era residence. This elegant, symmetrical building demonstrates the stylistic shift from the picturesque asymmetry of the Late Victorian era to the rigid formality that was favoured in the Edwardian era.

The Rowe Residence is significant for its association with the Malpass family. This house was built for Mary Ann Malpass Blundell Rowe, the daughter of John and Lavinia Malpass. The Malpass family arrived in Nanaimo in 1854 after a lengthy voyage from England aboard the barque Princess Royal. Although there were settlers here before the arrival of the Princess Royal families, the latter are typically celebrated as Nanaimo's founding families. These families continue to be commemorated in an annual public ceremony that marks their historic arrival.

The Rowe Residence is located on the main thoroughfare of one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Nanaimo within a grouping a heritage buildings.
