CARMICHAEL HOUSE 1911

“Maude Carmichael was the daughter of Chilliwack’s  first mayor, Sam Cawley. In January 1911, she married John Carmichael who was killed early in the first World War; Maude sold this house around 1920. Built in the Craftsman style the side gable roof is balanced by a front gable dormer and a inset entry porch; typical of the style are the notch vergeboards and the triangular eve brackets.”
