REASONS FOR DESIGNATION

 

524 EMERALD STREET

 

This Neo-Georgian Style house, built in 1937, is a component part of Hughes Cleaver’s development plan for the Emerald Crescent district.  It fronts on to a boulevard, the precursor for his development of Rossmore Boulevard in Roseland.  As a corner property, subdivided from the lot for Ellis Hughes Cleaver’s great Victorian mansion, it makes a strong contribution to the varied heritage quality of Caroline Street.  Its Heritage Award winning renovation in 1989 was exemplary in combining the best quality modern services with preservation and restoration of authentic details such as the stucco surface, true casement windows with divided lights, and front entrance door.  The renovated entrance details are based on historical study of Neo-Georgian designs.
