Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The house was constructed c. 1908 when the Britannia area was at the height of its popularity as a summer resort (1900-1914). The first owner, Emma G. Murphy was part of a family of year-round residents who played a notable role in the community. Her brothers Edward and Albert, locally known as the Murphy Brothers, constructed this and other architecturally distinguished residences in the area. The structure is an example of the Shingle Style which is rare in Ottawa. The sophisticated design is distinguished by a large semicircular opening on the second level surrounded by a radiating pattern of wood shingles, and by the deeply receded entrance porch on the ground level. The dramatic composition of planes, voids and geometric shapes within a front-gable volume, is crafted with simple materials and forms. As a result the residence is very significant for the local environment because it is both a visual landmark and it reinforces the traditional qualities of the early building stock of Britannia. |
