79 Frederick Street - Parr Division

Hansen House is designated a Provincial Historic Site for its historic and architectural value. Situated within Saint Andrews’ historic district, the aesthetic home, distinctive in style from its immediate neighbours, is an integral part of the original Loyalist town plan.

The Picturesque style of the home is characterized by its steep centre gable, symmetrical shape, porch entry, and classic gable returns. The home’s prominent features are its steep central gable and unusual fish scale shingle porch. Renovations have preserved the architectural integrity of the home.

This home was restored by the St. Andrews Civic Trust in 1978 and now protected by covenant.

The character-defining elements of this property include:

• one-and-a-half storey rectangular massing;
  
• lateral gable roof with steep central gable on the front façade;
  
• central entrance;
  
• shutters on most windows;
  
• 6 over 6 rectangular windows with entablatures;
  
• classical trim and returns;
  
• fish scale shingles, pediment, and other wooden decorative elements of porch;
  
• clapboard siding with pilaster corner boards.
