F.L. Wanklyn House(7/1908) Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue (Senneville), QC, Canada Residential, Country house [basement, 2 floors, 5 bedrooms, 2 servants' rooms]; wood; plaster; stone; wood framing Client: F.L. Wanklyn Description: In 1893 Richard B. Angus purchased a large property of land in Senneville where he built houses for his daughters. Edith Margaret Angus and her husband F.L. Wanklyn, engineer and General Executive Assistant for the Canadian Pacific Railway, hired Edward Maxwell for this project. The result was a shingle style cottage with a gambrel-flared roof situated on a plateau overlooking the lake. A distinct feature of the exterior verandah, built on the side and front entrance is the broad columns of rubble stone alternating with Doric columns in wood. The ground floor plan contains a spacious dining and living room; these spaces are arranged symmetrically on one side of the house. A protruding circular bay defines the outer corner of the dining room, while that of the living room is octagonal. The first floor includes four bedrooms, a bathroom and two servant rooms. The front elevation is composed by an oriel window set against the valley and formed by the gables, which have Palladian windows set in level with the oriel.
Between 1904 and 1908 Bertha Angus and her husband R.M.D. Patterson occupied the house after her sister Edith. They again hired the Maxwell architects to design a series of additions. The alterations in the house elevation reveal how the oriel window marks the division between the original house and the additions. Holdings: Country house (basement, 2 floors, 5 bedrooms, 2 servants' rooms); wood; plaster; stone; wood framing | |
