Description
Building permits for this Craftsman Bungalow home were issued to owner, architect and builder Fred Melton in 1920. The building was valued at $4750 and the first resident is listed as Juno Miller, piano store director of Millers Piano House, 825 West Georgia St.
The heritage building was built in as part of a larger speculative venture along the 2900 to 3100 blocks of West 5th Avenue.
This part of Kitsilano features a large number of intact Craftsman Bungalow houses of varying design details with the common full-width porch and a low-profile front-gabled roof line.
This house features clinker brick porch columns and chimney, a large front window with leaded glass transom, and decorative brackets and a shed roof set above an attic window in the gable.
