Description

This two storey wood frame house has both architectural and historical significance. First appearing in city directories for 1900-1901, this house was built in 1898 for William Booth Skinner, a pioneer from Ladner, where two of his sisters were wives of the two founding Ladner brothers. After moving to Mount Pleasant, Skinner opened a boot and shoe store on Westminster Avenue, now Main Street. It is a good example of a Queen Anne style Victorian house. It features full height two-storey bay windows and a small covered entry porch with decorative woodwork.
