The intent of these guidelines is to ensure the design of any addition or alterations will be sympathetic to the historical facades of the William Paskins Residence. The facades of the William Paskins Residence have been identified as historically and architecturally significant. Since the facades are designed in a particular style, it is desirable to design any addition or alterations that will complement the building’s overall design and does not overtly compete with the original structure by means of its own design features.
It is important that the owner and the architect consult the City of Edmonton Heritage Officer at the preliminary stage and throughout the design process.
The design of the new construction or any alterations should consider and be sympathetic to the following character defining elements of the historic William Paskins Residence:
a) Queen Anne architectural detailing such as the turret and bay windows, the front porch with decorative brackets and gingerbread frieze, decorative cornice under the eaves, scrolled brackets under the eaves and the steep roof.
b) Timber lap siding and wood shingles (painted) located on the gable ends.
c) Double hung wood windows (2 over 2) and wood doors.
