Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Henry Hatheway Residence is a one-and-a-half storey Gothic Revival residence with an off-centred entrance and a steeply-pitched central gable. It is located Orange Street within the Orange Street Heritage Preservation Area of Saint John.
Heritage Value
The Henry Hatheway Residence is designated a Local Historic Place for its location and its architecture.
The Henry Hatheway Residence is recognized as part of a block which survived the Great Saint John Fire which destroyed two-thirds of the city in 1877. The eastern end of Orange Street was occupied mostly by merchants and tradesmen. This residence is a good example of small-scale Gothic Revival residential architecture from a period prior to the fire. The time frame for these homes began in 1830 and the style was still used as late as 1890. This residence appears to be in the mid-range of the evolution of the Gothic Revival style and was undoubtedly built as a result of the expansion of the City of Saint John through the waves of immigrants in the 1830's and 1840's. A great majority of this immigration was due in part to the Irish Famine.
