Three and a half kilometres north of Edmonton’s urban boundary lies the city’s most rural Municipal Historic Resource; the Bentley Residence, colloquial known as the Brick Farmhouse.
.
This home was constructed in 1920 by the Bentley Family. Samuel James Bentley was born in 1860 at Five Islands, Nova Scotia. At the age of twenty he would leave his rural home to seek better opportunities in the new west, and for time would travel throughout the southwestern United States. However, in 1897 he was drawn back to Canada with the allure of the Yukon Gold Rush. Up north he would meet his future wife Mary Annie McRae, with whom he would eventually have two sons, Jim and Fraser. In 1908 the family would decide to finally settle on this piece of farmland just north of Edmonton.
.
Their home is built to a Foursquare layout, a pattern which gained popular amongst farmers in the early 20th Century due to the prevalence of easy to build, pre-cut mail order homes which were offered through large national chains like the T. Eaton Company and Aladdin Homes. Typical of these homes, the Brick House makes use of Classical Revival traditions, typified in its use of symmetry and classical detailing. The Bentley’s property is also particularly notable for its brick construction, somewhat of a rarity amongst rural farmhouses.
.
The Brick House also stands as one of the few notable farmhouses that has yet to be consumed by the built-city. As author Ken Tingley describes in his book “Building a Legacy: Edmonton’s Architectural Heritage,” often “as urban growth consumed the surrounding farmlands, farm buildings frequently disappeared during subdivision and subsequent development.” As opposed to other farm homes such as the Sherbrooke Farmhouse, the Bentley Residence remains within its original rural setting.
.
The Bentley’s would own this property until 1945, when Samuel decided to retire. It would be sold to the Sweetnam family that year, who continue to own it to this day. The family would have it designated a Municipal Historic Resource in November, 1999.
