150 W 10th Ave

Built in 1907-1908, this house is characteristic of Edwardian design with the upper storey balcony with its arched opening and balustrade. It was restored by the Davis Family in 1978.

Colloquially known as the Davis Block, the extraordinary collection of well-preserved heritage homes on the 100 block of W 10th Avenue between Manitoba and Columbia is largely due to the efforts of the Davis family. In the 1970s and 80s, John and Nita “Pat” Davis and their family purchased, restored and protected with heritage designation a succession of houses that were threatened by neglect and demolition, often converting them to multiple suites and providing long-term affordable rental accommodation. This house, along with 117, 140, 144, 148, 156 and 166 W 10th Ave are all part of this picturesque and historic block.
