Heritage attributes

Fairmonte has design value as a representative example of a 1930s Tudor Revival style home. The Tudor Revival style can be seen in the following attributes of Fairmonte: asymmetrical, non-linear façades; steep roofs with varying designs and heights; random window patterns and sizes; tall, narrow leaded-glass windows; exposed wood eaves; brick cladding; and stucco and half-timbered cladding. The house contains a mix of local materials and elements from the Arts and Crafts era that embody craftsmanship made from natural materials. The house is a modest yet charming structure and a good representative example of the Tudor Revival style.
