Heritage attributes

The Cuthbertson House is a representative example of a Dutch Colonial Revival style home, a style that referenced the 18th century homes found in northeast America. The Cuthbertson House includes many architectural elements typical of the style including its cross-gambrel roof with long overhanging eaves; its use of natural building materials including its red brick and wood shingle cladding; its large, second storey shed dormer; and its random fenestration pattern.
