1605-1607 W 14th Ave

The Granville Park Lawn Bowling Club (formerly Terminal City) and the civic park are located directly south and across the street from the subject site. Historically, this park was bordered along West 14th Avenue by modest, low-rise duplexes built in the 1920-40 era. These English Builder duplexes, with their stylized details and their front doors, porches and stairs opening out towards the street, created a pedestrian friendly scale and architectural interest.

These lands bordering the park have since undergone significant change with large apartment buildings replacing the early duplexes. The two heritage buildings at 1605-7 and 1615-1 West 14th Avenue are the only duplexes that remain on the West 14th park streetscape. They are good examples of English Builder duplexes from the late 1930’s with their identical massing.
