THIS FINE home is located at the intersection of Fast Queens Road and St. Geo. :2s Avenue, which is routed westward around the house to join 29th ‘Street. ‘NORTH SHORE ” HERITAGE --By Dorothy Foster - It is a prominent house that marks one of the. entry .points, or has been referred to as a “gate, - house,” to the North Lonsdale Historic District. “~ It is a blend of three architectur-. «al styles, Motifs of Tudor Revival, Craftsman, and Arts and Crafts Styles: are all present in the design, of this home. ‘The twinned front gable dormer with half timbering at the second storey are obvious features of this home along with the inset front . porch with stairs leading up, and multi-paned wooden sash windows that have a clear view south toward the city. Williamson House was named after the first owner,.Franklin M. Williamson, ‘a locai dentist who, after taking a post-graduate course in dentistry in Chicago, took over the practice of a Dr. Follisk. His dental surgery office was located above the Bank of Hamilton Charnbers at the south- east’ corner of Ist Street and Lonsdale. Both Dr. Williamson and his wife Grace were involved with the »» North Lonsdale Methodist Church, ‘and several church social functions were held in their home. Dr. Williamson was also known in the community for his fine baritone Good laundry design can make life easier *-NOW MORE than ever, busy homeowners juggle work, family‘and leisure in an effort tc maintain a balanced and sat- isfying lifestyle. For them, time saved on every- day tasks means time more happily spent elsewhere. So when home- owners nationwide recently took time to design efficient home laun- dry areas, they not only made life easier for themselves but also were recognized for doing so by Maytag Company and Woman's Day Kitchens and Baths in a Good Laundry Design Contest. If you’re as busy as the contest entrants, you too may benefit from putting their ingenious ideas to use, Consider the following: Keep storage close to laundry equipment. ~A retired couple built a two- tiered, turn-around shelf near the washer and dryer. It holds laundry ready to be washed or folded. §@ Locate laundry equipment near a sink and storage. Cabinets conceal laundry sup- plies and, when located near a sink, double. as storage space for stemware, glasses and bar iterns. Place related conveniences near laundry equipment. A couple with two active chil- dren installed a drip-drying closet next to the sink and laundry equip- ment by using a shower-floor base with a drain and ceramic tile walls. They also installed a low faucet and clothing rad. i Double-up on space with stacked laundry equipment. A single mother living in an older home installed a stacked washer/dryer in a compact closet near the garden and central kitchen island. On the inside closet door a fold-down ironing board saves even more precious space. &@ Place laundry equipment adja- cent to existing plumbing. When the most convenient plumbing hook-up seems awkward, consider locating appliances behind louvered cabinets and folding doors for concealment when not in use. 10vie site singing voice. More recently, while | was dri- ving past this home, I noticed there was a flurry of activity. with film crews set up for a number of days filming a movie. The movie industry has discov- ered that heritage homes have ‘a great deal of charm and charisma — and attract the theatre crowds, and more homes in the Lower Mainland . area are becoming location sites.
