    Built.

  2. 1901

    A two-storey house in the Shingle style — shingles wrapped round the corners into one continuous surface, the interest carried by curved dormers and flared eaves rather than by ornament. It is the oldest known house in the Oceanside, bar a Stick-Eastlake cottage further along 48th Avenue that was moved onto its lot in 1924.
