- Residential building.
- Heritage Value
- This beautifully-detailed house displays a highly sophisticated mix of fashionable Arts and Crafts elements. The asymmetrical design has stacked inset verandahs on one side, with the ground floor verandah wrapping around the side of the house. The second floor verandah has an arched opening, supported by short versions of the ground floor columns and accessed by French doors with geometric patterned, multi-paned glazing. A semi-circular lunette window lights the attic, and banked windows with leaded transoms are used on the front façade. Decorative details include triangular eave brackets and square verandah columns with distinctive bracketted capitals. The house has survived in original condition except for a later asbestos siding that was applied over the original shingle siding, and the enclosure of the side verandah. The home was owned by J.R. Dawson and Frances Abigail Dawson (née Thompson, 1853-1938) from 1915 until Frances’ death in 1938.

- Heritage Value
- On December 13, 1912, The British Columbian Weekly described the Vancouver Heights neighbourhood as follows: "The northern portion of the municipality in the vicinity of Boundary Road has during the past three years made tremendous strides towards settlement. At that time Mr. James Herd and Mr. Peters were the only residents of the district...Soon, however, the timber was removed, streets laid out and other conveniences such as water, light and transportation provided... The school population of the district has increased so rapidly that the school has been enlarged twice this year and is at the present time inadequate. About 200 children are attending now. There are three churches in the district and one mission...At present time there are two large blocks containing six stores..."

bodice and skirt

- BV989.38.1
- Description
- Bodice and skirt, c.1864-1870. Brown silk taffeta with white checked pattern. Small standing collar, sloping shoulders, long sleeves with ruffle, black buttons down centre front, polonaise attachment at the back. Skirt has elastic waistband, and equal volume all around. Ruffle trim around hem. Hand sewn.
- Object History
- The dress is reported to have been worn by the donor's aunt, Sarah Ellen Thompson, who was born in 1872 which would suggest this is an 1880s bustle dress. However, the short straight waist, sloping shoulders, wide sleeves, piped seams and light boning placed in the darts suggest an earlier date of 1860s or early 1870s. The polonaise is tacked on to the back, instead of a continuation of the bodice, and the skirt does not look like the late bustle period. Likely made in early bustle period of the late 1860s-early 1870s. Elsewhere in the file, it is reported the donor got the dress from a friend, not from her aunt.
