Description du lieu patrimonial
The Roy Gerolamy Residence consists of a two-storey, wood-frame residential building on a city lot in a mid-block location on a residential street in the historic Strathcona neighbourhood.
Valeur patrimoniale
The 1913 Roy Gerolamy Residence is significant because of its architecture, which is an excellent example, with superior design attributes, of the four-square style, which became popular during the Edwardian Era. Derived from American Colonial and Classical Revival architecture, it was typified by the use of symmetry and classical detailing.
The Roy Gerolamy Residence is also significant because of its association with the development of the Strathcona community, one of south Edmonton's oldest settled neighbourhoods dating from the arrival of the railway in 1892, and a separate city until amalgamation with Edmonton in 1912.
