Data Points

Architect J.S.D. Taylor. This 1912 house is a hybrid of Queen Anne architecture and Tudor Revival design. It was built by Robert McLean along with the neighbouring house to the east. Harry and Edith Kydd owned and occupied the house from 1917 until 1940 when they moved to an even larger residence on West King Edward in Shaughnessy. Harry Kydd was a businessman - owner and president of Kydd Bros Ltd. - a hardware merchant with a sheet metal works in Gastown. Chrles Kydd the son of Edith and Harry, took over the business and it was later run by two grandchildren. It eventually became BC Plumbing Supplies and remained in the Kydd family for 80 years. By the early 60s the house had been divided into suites, and remained so until being rehabilitated to its original grandeur, completed in 2013.
