Heritage attributes

The Rivaz Family Farmhouse is a representative example of vernacular architecture with Edwardian Classical and Queen Anne Revival influences. The house incorporates a number of architectural features of the Edwardian Classical style, including: the smooth, red-brick exterior; a relatively square footprint; a pyramidal hipped roof with a flat deck; wide, overhanging eaves; and an attic dormer. The house also includes details carried over from the more picturesque late Queen Anne Revival style, such as: the asymmetrical front façade with two-storey bay and pedimented gable; the protruding bay window on the east elevation; and the front porch with brick detailing.
