Macauley House

130 West 10th was built in stages, beginning in 1893 when it was an almost square two-storey pioneer Victorian home built by labourer John Crawford. In 1900 Crawford sold it to Richard H. Macauley, a fireman at fire hall #3 on Broadway. Macauley then added a one-storey addition to the back. In 1910 he undertook a major addition and renovation. This included modernizing the face of the house in the Edwardian style of that decade, apparently duplicating the design of the 1907 home at 150 West 10th. The coach house built in 2004 at 132 West 10th Avenue incorporated limited portions of Mount Pleasant’s oldest home, the Clark House, that was built at 243 East 5th Avenue in 1888. The gable-end massing, horizontal wood cladding, double-hung fenestration and recessed balcony with colonnettes are representative of the houses constructed in the West Mount Pleasant Special Character Merit Area.
