Description of Historic Place

The Angus Campbell House is a two-storey house situated behind a low picket fence on the north side of Princess Street between Second and Fourth Streets in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood of New Westminster.

Heritage Value

The Angus Campbell House is valued for its age, cultural and architectural significance.

Constructed in 1911, the house is one of the earliest houses on the block, built on land that was once farmland, before it was subdivided around the turn of the twentieth century for housing lots by Archibald Campbell. This property was further subdivided in circa 1910 by Archibald's son Angus, just before the house was built.

The Angus Campbell House is a good example of the Edwardian Arts and Crafts movement, particularly evident by its strong gable roof, sleeping porch, open verandah. The house is valued by the community for the painstaking restoration that the current owners have carried out. A few original elements still exist in the house, such as the large dining room window on the west elevation, the fir floors, and the main stair banister.
