1504 Graveley

Completed in 1912, the existing house is a good example of the popular Craftsman style which flourished on the West Coast from approximately 1910-1925. The design exhibits a simplicity of form and detailing; its floor plan is rectangular with an emphasis on functional use of space. Characteristic Craftsman elements include a steep roof, saddle-bag dormers and cedar shingle exterior cladding. The "heart" of the house is the living room which features a large brick fireplace. Located adjacent to a number of buildings of similar style and scale, the house forms part of a streetscape of Craftsman style homes. The house is registered as a "B" category building in the Vancouver Heritage Register. The goal was to intensify the land use in a lower density area by making an infill.
