Description: In 1910, A.J. Williams commissioned Edward and William Maxwell to design his urban home in Westmount. The houses designed by Edward at the beginning of his career, borrowed elements from H.H. Richardson’s architecture. In this case, the plan follows an asymmetrical distribution using a central hall to reach the dining room and kitchen that are located at the rear part of the house. The drawing room with a projecting two-storey bay window faces the street. The front façade is a simplified version of the Queen Anne style finished in red brick and crowned by a parapet with a central pediment above the bay window.
