315 Fourth Avenue
Boughen House (1912) 'E-Dee-Nie'
Craftsman Style - Modern Period

E.J. Boughen designed a number of houses in New Westminster between 1911 and 1913. His own house on Fourth Street is an outstanding example of the Craftsman style of architecture, featuring a low pitched, side gabled roof with a wide eaves overhang and gable dormers, decorative braces under the gables, multiple roof planes and stonework bases for the porch supports. Secondary influences include the Prairie style porch supports, window glazing and the Tudor false half-timbering. The stained glass was made by Royal City Glass.
