Description
This Late Edwardian style house, built in 1910/1912, is one of the Hastings-Sunrise subdivision’s first houses. Its timbers and woodwork were hewn from old-growth trees most likely felled in the area. Original owner Charles Augustus Peterson lived in the house until 1936. He sold it to Hazel Thomas, who turned it into a boarding house during WWII and added several makeshift kitchens, which were later removed in the late 1980s renovation.
Special features include an upstairs sleeping porch, a wood-burning Clayburn brick fireplace and floors and stairs restored to the original dark oak stain. In 1912 this 2 story framed residence was valued at $2300.
2449 Dundas Street participated in VHF’s Heritage Energy Retrofit Grant Program, improving the houses energy efficiency and reducing its green house gas emissions.
