Lavallie Cottage is an excellent representative of one of the typical small cottage types from the early decades of the community, in this case to 1936, when it was built by a Mr. Weatherby. Small, charming and still revealing many of its original design and construction qualities, the cottage effectively suggests the delight of such places. From its simple plan, basically a box, to its straightforward gable roof, the building is a model of efficiency. But it also boasts original fenestration, a nearly original interior with bare wooden walls, which in places even reveal the original lumberyard mark: Abbotsford Lumber.
