History
The Heeks Family Farmhouse is a representative example of a vernacular home with Edwardian style influences. The home was built in 1909 and was likely designed by the farmer who had it built. Constructed during the Edwardian era, it has characteristics influenced by the Edwardian style, such as its: simple but formal composition and balanced facade; large, square and tall form; red brick cladding with minimal decoration; front porch that runs the width of the house, including brick piers and wood columns and railings; simple first-storey square bays; and unadorned deep wooden roof eaves.
