Trafalgar Lodge
Conçue en 1848 par l’architecte John George Howard, cette résidence confortable et pittoresque est un bel exemple représentatif de villa de style néo-gothique. Elle se distingue par sa forme asymétrique, ses lucarnes et ses pignons proéminents ainsi que ses souches de cheminées groupées se découpant distinctement sur fond de ciel. Les cadres de fenêtre et les larmiers, très sculpturaux, reflètent un esprit tantôt ecclésiastique, tantôt domestique. La polychromie du bâtiment, avec ses moulures de pierre claire rehaussant la brique rouge des murs, rappelle l’architecture domestique européenne de la fin du Moyen Âge.
Trafalgar Lodge
Designed in 1848 by architect John George Howard, this comfortable, picturesque residence is a fine representative example of a Gothic Revival-style villa. It is distinguished by its asymmetrical form, prominent gables, dormers, and clustered chimney stacks that create a bold profile against the sky. Details such as window frames and label mouldings are executed in a strongly sculptural manner, and are alternately ecclesiastical and domestic in spirit. The building’s polychromy, with light stone trim highlighting its red brick walls, recalls late medieval domestic architecture in Europe.
Cette plaque est située au 3021, avenue Trafalgar. This plaque is located at 3021 Trafalgar Avenue.
