Ogilvie House

Named after its first owners, Scottish immigrants David and Eleanor Ogilvie, it was built in 1920 during the financial depression which began in 1913 and which was further exacerbated by the global impacts of the First World War.

‘The Ogilvie Residence’ is valued as a rare example of modest Craftsman bungalow housing built between 1913 and the mid 1920s, when the economy improved.

The house features elements influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, which appealed to middle class families of British origins. Characteristic features include its one and half storey height, large simple roof and small front dormer, and front porch.
