SHEPPARD RESIDENCE
518 East 18th Street
Blackadder & Mackay, Architects 1922
REGISTER RANKING: B
This house was built for accountant George Sheppard, and designed by Blackadder & MacKay, an architectural firm responsible for numerous Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts style houses in North Vancouver. This residence was built by local contractors George Waddell (1862-1942) and Samuel George Waddell (1882-1964). A broad, sloped roof extends over the substantial front verandah. Half- timbering, exposed purlins, pegged square verandah columns and multi-paned casement windows reflect the Arts and Crafts aesthetic that persisted into the 1920s.
