Fred Wolstenholme Residence

Address: 21350 - 25 Avenue

Fred Wolstenshoime, Bellevue's most prominent builder during the 1920s, had long promised to build a dream home for his wife Jeannie. He finally realised his dream in 1931, but only lived to enjoy it for seven years before his death in October 1938. Situated on a corner lot and set into the hill, this house is a beautifully proportioned piece of architecture.

It is a one and one-half storey wood frame structure on a partially raised cement basement. The original stucco covering with decorative quoins has been covered by siding. The entrance has a portico set on two columns along classical lines. Two bay windows with hipped roofs on the south side, along with a corbelled brick chimney, add distinction to the house.

Directions: Go north along 25 Avenue. Turn right on 213 Street and then right on the Bellevue Mine access road.
