Recent Projects

This private residence is on the list of Heritage Buildings in Edmonton.  Designed by Charles W. Coppock in 1912, the City's Heritage Website reports:  'The artful simplicity, efficient use of space, extensive use of natural wood, and open eaves exemplify this Craftsman bungalow, although it remains distinct in its inclusion of a hipped rather than gabled roof'.

The house was the home of  Dr. Norman Terwillegar and his family. Dr. Terwillegar was held in very high regard by patients from all over.  In later years he operated his practice from this house on 125 Street.  Terwillegar Heights in Southwest Edmonton was named after him in the 1960s.
