THE PROMINENT projecting bay area, located above this home
entrance, is one of the most distinctive features of this her-

itage house in Lower Lonsdale.

Home built in 1912

the rafters), a clinker brick chim-
ney, and squared porch columns,
supporting the projecting bay.

A small amount of ornamenta-
tion is evident in the diamond
design of the leaded glass window
panes of the upper portions of the
projecting bay windows.

This home was built in 1912,
and is a short distance from the
location of Moodyville, the original
settlement on the North Shore.

The Moodyville Mill was closed
down in 1901. Then, abandoned, it
burned to the ground in 1916. The

townsite was absorbed by the City
of North Vancouver in 1915.

Now, no physical evidence
remains of either the mill or the
townsite, which were historically
important in the development of
North Vancouver.

The first known owner of this
house was a William F, Clapham.
He was an accountant with the
North West Securities Company,
and he may have built this house on
speculation, as there is no record
that he lived here.

I would like to acknowledge the
new and updated City of North
Vancouver's Heritage Inventory,
for some information in this article.
