IMPROVED FACADE
9 Dermott Place

Owners: Robert and Laura Johnson
Craftsman: Josef Miezajs

History: The home was built in 1914 and renovation of the facade was part of an overall reconstruction of the house which while not a heritage house is in a designated heritage district. The plans were drawn up in consultation with Heritage Services at City Hall.

Reason for the award: The award was given in light of the care taken to restore the deteriorated façade elements to stay consistent with the original design of the house and the adjacent houses in the row. The veranda was enhanced with ornamental woodwork, and the upper facade (below second-floor windows) with fish-scale shingles.
