History

The property is an example of a Craftsman-inspired vernacular bungalow. The house is one storey with a rectangular plan with ashlar block foundation and walls clad in horizontal wood siding. The asphalt shingled low hipped roof has wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. The small front porch also features a hip roof with exposed rafters and is supported by round columns. The windows on the front façade are banks of three or four fixed lowers with leaded square-paned transoms. The bank of three windows to the west of the front door projects out and is supported by small brackets. A one storey projecting bay flanks the front entrance to the east.

Heritage attributes

The property is historically associated with Tuxedo Park, a new suburb developed around 1910, located on the site of farmland and orchards. The original owner of the house, Howard French, was a local painter and raised his family in this house. Since the construction of the house in the early 1920s, there have been only three owners of this house.
