Haswell Residence to be saved!

March 29, 2017 | Heritage+Character | By Aaron Rossetti

North Vancouver city council voted to save the Haswell Residence, 910 Grand Boulevard, with the approval of a 3 lot subdivision.

The Haswell Residence was built in 1910 by Edward Mahon for Arthur Haswell and his wife Alice Pearce. Its noted for it's 'pegged purlins and buttressed walls, an evocative expression of the British Arts and Crafts style.' Features include a steep jerkinheaded roof off set by a prominent two-storey front gable over the central entry, and a large stained glass panel on the east façade illuminates the stairwell.'

Saving the home was not without controversy, as neighbours worried about the increase in density. Ultimately council felt preserving the home was more valuable and approved a 3 lot subdivision, with two East 9th Street lots with widths of 33 and 38 feet.
