WINTERHOLME This residence is an outstanding example of the Queen Anne Revival style, popular in Canadian house construction from the 1880s to 1914. Influenced by British and American models, the Queen Anne Revival favoured eclectic historical motifs, picturesque design, varied materials and distinctive windows. In Atlantic Canada, such houses were built of wood and tended to have stately, symmetrical facades and plans. Built in 1905-1907, Winterholme has a splendidly opulent interior, featuring decorative plaster and elaborate woodwork. The house is a key landmark in this historic district.

Cette résidence offre un exemple exceptionnel du style néo-Queen Anne, en vogue pour la construction au Canada des années 1880 à 1914. Influencé par les modèles anglais et américains, ce style pittoresque privilégiait les motifs historiques éclectiques, une variété de matériaux et des fenêtres typiques. Dans les Provinces atlantiques, les maisons de ce genre étaient en bois et leur façade comme leur plan étaient imposants et souvent symétriques. Bâtie entre 1905 et 1907, Winterholme possède un intérieur somptueux, avec boiseries décoratives et plâtres très ouvragés. C'est un fleuron de ce quartier historique.
