EDMONTON A family home of 63 years has been declared an Edmonton municipal heritage resource on June 22. The Bashor residence located 108 Avenue and 125 Street, housed three generations over those decades. “When Archibald and Mabel Bashor moved into their Westmount home in 1925, it was unlikely they knew it would be a house that would be passed down through the generations,” read a release by the City of Edmonton. Mr. and Mrs. Bashor relocated from the United States and moved into the Edmonton home in 1910. One of their two daughters took ownership of the house in 1953, where they lived until 1987. “It’s rare to find a house that has housed three generations of the same family. It must have been much loved by the Bashors and their daughters,” said Heritage Planner David Johnston. “The new owners also respect that history which is why they sought this heritage designation.”
