John Nash and family first built an imposing farmhouse at 74 256 Street between 1905-08, but this subject is about the Nash's Fort Langley residence.

Nash built another house in Fort Langley in 1916, at 8985 Nash Street. This modest house is typical of the Craftsman Bungalow style. It has a side gable roof, a front-facing gable dormer, a projecting entry dormer and casement windows. The property of four acres was later subdivided. The street is named after John Nash.
