Heritage Award of Merit
The Heritage Advisory Commission conferred the Heritage Award of Merit to the Harry Weaver Residence at 4116 96 Street. This foursquare house with wrap around verandah and square columns, dates form 1912 and is currently owned by Brent and Jane Kelly and has been in the Kelly family since 1966. The Kellys spent more than two years restoring the farm house, retaining as many of the original features as possible and finishing new materials to match the original. The restoration included a new foundation, a sympathetic two storey addition on the rear of the house, removal of an older insensitive addition, as well as saving some original plants in the gardens and replanting the rest with shrubs which were originally found in the garden. The Kelly's hard work and dedication to restoring this piece of Delta's heritage is applauded.
