McDonald House

The house at 470 East 10th Avenue was constructed in 1907 for John and Mary McDonald by James Edward Wright, who is known to have built a number of houses in the neighbourhood, including the neighbouring house at 466 East 10th Avenue, as well as some of the early houses in the Shaughnessy neighbourhood.

The house is a good example of the Edwardian “Foursquare” style and features a high degree of original materials and elements. Features include its full width porch with turned columns and wood decking and soffit, simple two and a half storey massing, original fenestration including wood frame double-hung single pane windows with decorative horns, moulded lintels and projecting sills, and a fixed wooden frame stained glass window with a floral motif on the east side of the building. Also of note are its bay windows, wood corner boards and fascia boards, and cedar shingle cladding in the gable ends, and moulded trim boards with dentils.

‘The McDonald Residence’ is listed in the ‘C’ evaluation category on the Vancouver Heritage Register.
