Harris/Russell House (Grand Bank)
Harris/Russell House (Grand Bank)![[Harris/Russell House: Image]](046.jpg)
This house is a fairly typical queen Anne structure and, in its own way, demonstrative of the variety of the Crand Bank houses in this style. With somewhat repressed ionic capitals on the pilasters it demonstrates that aspect of the Queen Anne which involves a revival of eighteenth century details. The house was built by George Harris, a Grand Bank merchant, about the time of his marriage to Lottie Pratt in 1908. In 1953 it was purchased by Bonavista Cold Storage as a residence for the fish plant staff and converted into a two-apartment dwelling. The Russell's, owners of the company, occupied the house from 1961 until 1976. The house has been sadly altered by the installation of a horizontal sliding window in the facade.
