Description

The home was designed by Octavius Josiah Morling, a carpenter and builder originally from England. This residence built in 1913 is a blend of Colonial Revival and Edwardian Style. Between 1912 and 1914, Morling designed six residences in Kitsilano and Fairview, all of which were developed by W.J Read, a local contractor, and nearly all have survived; two of them are recognized as significant by the City of Vancouver.

In 1914, O.J Morling was partner in the firm May & Morling which was the owner and builder of another house on the Kitsilano Point. Thomas Crawford, a merchant originally from Robertsville, Ontario, was the first owner of 1895 west 14th Ave. His association is valued as an example of long-term ownership of a house that served one large family. He and his wife Mary had eight children and occupied the house for twenty five years.
