Pollock House
Located at 4627 46 Street
Red Deer Archives P505, Pollock House, ca. 1982.
The Raymond Pollock House was built in 1912 by contractors C.T. Eline and Julius McIntosh for Ed Bryan who lived there until the 1920s when he sold it to John Jackson. Raymond Pollock arrived in Red Deer in 1935, and bought the house from John Jackson in 1939. Raymond was an agent for Imperial Oil, and was an active community member as chairman of the Red Deer Separate School Board. He remained in the home until his death, and his widow, Mabel Pollock, resided there until 1997.
The Raymond Pollock Residence is significant for its association with the theme of early residential development in Red Deer, for its Victorian design influences and its association with the Pollock family. It is representative of the type of early twentieth century housing for the more prosperous families in Red Deer.
In 2008 - 2010, the large Victorian sized lot was subdivided, and the Pollock House was moved onto a new foundation on the eastern portion of the two new lots. A new house was built on the second lot.
The Pollock House is protected by The City of Red Deer's Land Use Bylaw Historical Significance Overlay Regulations (HS-47)
