285 Water Street - Morris Division
The Faul’s Residence is designated a Local Historic Pace for its architecture, for its association with past occupants and for being a contributing element to the array of buildings built in St. Andrews during the second quarter of the 19th century.
The Fauls Residence is a very good example of Georgian style architecture. The residence is two- and-a-half storeys and has a central entranceway in a 5-bay façade. The top windows are flush with the eaves and the side gables have very little eave overhang and returns.
The first known occupant of this home was Catherine Fauls in the 1870’s. She remained here with her nephew James Gallagher and she sold the home to him in 1913. From 1936 to 1941 this was the home of Motasaki Akagi, a Canadian born Japanese citizen who resided in St. Andrews before the war, working as a motor mechanic. He joined the war efforts and was later stationed at Camp Utopia.
The character-defining elements of this property include:
