Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
This 1929 two storey residence has a wood shingle hip roof with a side intersecting gable, and a brick first storey with half timbering along the second storey. It is located on a single lot in a residential neighbourhood in the City of Camrose.
Heritage Value
The two storey residence is significant for its association with the theme of post world War I residential development in Camrose and for its association with local businessman, Frank Farley .
Significant for its association with the theme of post World War I residential development in Camrose, this house is associated with the economic boom in Camrose the 1920s caused by the ending of World War I that resulted in the construction of many residences. This residence has Tudor Revival design influences which include such design elements as the hipped roof with side intersecting gable, the prominent half timbering and stucco along the second storey, the first storey brick cladding and the multi-paned windows.
This 1929 two storey residence is significant for its association with Frank Farley, who operated a real estate business with Dennis Twomey in Camrose. Frank Farley owned this lot in 1907 as part of his ownership of some fifty lots in the Park Hill addition. The Park Hill addition was developed because of its proximity to the commercial center, its advantageous higher elevation and its associated better drainage.
