Description
This large English Arts & Crafts home was built in the late 1920s. It was designed by Vancouver architect Ross A. Lort for lumberman John Millard Murray and his wife Isabella. While the Murrays developed the property, they lived in the small cottage.
Architect Ross Lort originally worked with renowned west coast Arts & Crafts architects Samuel Maclure and Cecil Croker Fox. In the Murray house Lort’s expert hand can be seen in the balanced massing and fine exterior details including leaded casement windows, decorative half-timber and stucco cladding, gables and dormers.
Subsequent owners William and Jane Robinson William and Jane Robinson owned the house from about 1959 until 1977. They added the ground level master suite and family room. Landscape Architect Philip Tattersfield created a new garden plan.
The current owners purchased the house in 1984 and updated the house and cottage.
