Heritage attributes

The Peake House is a representative example of an Arts and Crafts era house with Craftsman and Tudor Revival architectural and design elements. Built around 1918, the house contains elements of the Craftsman style including: its mix of natural materials, including wood, stucco and brick; the covered front porch recessed into the roof; multipaned casement windows, and exposed wooden eaves. Elements of the Tudor Revival Style include: pitched gable roof with dormers; deep roof overhangs; and the quintessential Tudor era half-timbering and stucco cladding. The house retains many of its original attributes and is a good representative example of an Arts and Crafts era home.
