Description
Three houses at 656, 664 and 666 E Georgia appear to have been constructed between 1892-1893 by owner James Boreland listed in early directories as both a longshoreman and plasterer.
Constructed during the height of Vancouver’s Victorian economic boom, they were built at a time when rental housing was in short supply. These homes incorporate typical vernacular design features such as decorative “fish-scale” shingles, bay windows, chamferred porch columns and scroll-cut brackets derived from the Victorian Queen Anne and Italinate styles.
These buildings contribute to the eclectic residential character of East Georgia Street and the Strathcona neighbourhood.
