NORTH SHORE HERITAGE
NORTH SHORE HERITAGE
The first time I saw the 1911 apartment building at 160 E. 10th Street in North Vancouver called Colonial Apartments, or The Colonial as is written on the front door, I was immediately taken by its gothic and moody exterior obscured by ivy. There is no other building like it on the North Shore and it gives me a feeling of Old California or New Orleans. You may have passed by it and wondered about it, too, but did you know how many honoured and well-known figures in North Vancouver’s history are connected to it?

Join us as we travel back in time to North Vancouver in the early 1920’s when the ratio of goats to humans was 1 to 33! At that time, goats were very important as providers of milk to the pioneering community of mostly European immigrants, some of whom had come from rather more refined households, only to live a more humble life on the North Shore.
