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.
