Living in Color: Homes Designed with Stained Glass

Feb 14, 2022 — Walt Danley Realty

Luxury Defined explores the many moods of stained glass as an architectural element in five enchanting homes: This circa-1907 mansion is the last of the great houses on south Douglas Street. Designed by noted architect Samuel Maclure in 1907, the striking two-story house is exemplary of the British Arts and Crafts movement, with its detailed gables, corbelled brick chimneys, and sleeping porch. All the windows are multi-lights over one main window, stained glass adds a decorative flourish of color and light. Monumental fireplaces, hand-carved wood finishes, and hardwood floors add to the Old World ambience. This grand heritage home was divided into five units in 1945, and then further developed in 1991, when the present owner, a master craftsman, added a coach house to the property. Two of the units have two bedrooms with generous living spaces. The other three have one bedroom with the potential for expansion. The coach house is a lovely addition with a top-floor apartment. The ground floor is a garage/workshop, but could be converted into additional accommodation, an office, studio, or recreation space. The home has a prime location facing Beacon Hill Park. Downtown Victoria is a 15-minute stroll.
