Heritage attributes

The Turner House is a representative example of an early 1900s Craftsman style house. The two-and-a-half storey house was built between 1914 and 1915 with elements of Craftsman design such as: a large front verandah; a combination of materials including wood, brick, and cedar shingles; a side gable roof punctuated by rear and front dormers; and multipaned windows throughout, including character-defining protruding bay windows. The house continues to reflect the craftsmanship and natural aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement through these historic architectural details.
