Description
This simple one and one-half storey L-shaped house was built in the late 1890s or early 1900s (the exact date cannot be determined) by the builder/designer George Lazenby Greenlay. The style of the house is “farm-house” vernacular.
An addition was completed in 1912, shortly before the first owner, Charlotte Lawson Logie, passed away in 1915. The Lawson / Gillespie family retained ownership of the building for many years as a rental residence. The building is valued as a rare surviving example of early pioneer development in the Riley-Park, Little Mountain area.
This house was listed on the Canadian Register of Heritage Places in 2008.
