Munro House

The existing building at 305 W 13th Avenue was constructed in 1910 by John W. Spencer for George Finlay Munro, an accountant with the Kelly Douglas Company. Only two families have resided in the house over the last one-hundred years, which is a testament to the intergenerational appeal and flexibility of Edwardian houses such as ‘The Munro Residence’.

The Munro family lived at the house for over forty years, and the Galichenko family resided at the house from 1952 until recently. The building is an excellent example of the Craftsman Style popular during the Edwardian period. Features include its substantial shingled, arched front porch, eave brackets, decorative bay windows and distinctive round windows, low shed dormers at the front set into a large, cross-gable roof which extends down to the front porch eave, and surviving wood double hung windows.
