9 Columbia Street East
Woodlands Nurse's Lodge (1904)
Designated Date: 2004 January 19

The Lodge building was the first nurses’ residence at Woodlands. Today it is used as a “Life Skills Training Centre” for residents who are returning to live in the community. The Lodge shows the basic form of the Craftsman style, although the design elements are clearly Eclectic. The two storey building is clad with shingles and clapboard and has a low pitched gabled roofline. It also has exposed beam ends beneath overhanging eaves, bracketed cornices, paired porch posts and multi-pane double hung windows. All of these elements along with its pronounced wood frames are consistent with the Craftsman style. The false half-timbering, two storey bays, and symmetrical proportions reveal secondary influences from the Tudor, Victorian and Colonial Revival styles.
