Description du lieu patrimonial
The Larkin House is a Municipal Heritage Property located at 925- 5th Avenue in Saskatoon's City Park neighbourhood. The designation applies to the exterior of a two-storey, wood-frame home built in 1928.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Larkin House lies in its association with two families that had a significant impact on the Saskatoon business community in the 1920s. Charles Larkin was a prominent member of Saskatoon’s business community, serving as an accountant with J.H. Speers & Co. Plant and in a number of senior positions with the Saskatoon Dairy Pool. Larkin lived in the house from 1929-1940. George Perrott, who owned and operated Modern Laundry, a business that survives today as Canadian Linen Supply, lived in the house from 1945-1972.
The heritage value of the home also lies in its architecture. Built in the Colonial style, the exterior of the building is adorned with a portico over the front entrance, a symmetrical facade and gambrel roof. This architectural style was common to developing communities across Canada prior to World War One.
