Anne-Marie Lawrence provides us with an interesting glimpse into the influence that the Group of Seven artist, Frederick Horsman Varley, had on Lynn Valley, and the unique legacy of all three types of heritage - built, cultural and landscape - that he left.

Heritage Stands the Test of Time: Roberts Residence (c. 1911)
1405 Doran, North Vancouver
Behind a surprisingly simple façade is an incredible, very pure example of how “Heritage Stands the Test of Time." Built on a large lot for English immigrants, the Tudor-style exterior and leaded glass windows must have reminded the owners of the ‘old country’. The interior contains amazingly beautiful built-in cabinets and each room is unique, cozy and still perfectly suited to modern day life. When the current owners moved in, they inherited a landscape plan for the property that included a 300-yard hole for golfers to show their stuff! Their stoop also includes the marks of a bear who tried to gain entry at some point! The owners have offered to host a summer party for our society, so stay-tuned for details!
Heritage Stands the Test of Time: Ackerman Residence (c. 1912)
448 East 13th Street, North Vancouver
In the hands of another owner, this house, with its dated interior and rotten front porch, might have been a candidate for demolition. Purchased in 2015 by its current owners, it has since undergone an extensive front porch restoration and an interior facelift. Now once again safe and beautiful, it is proof that “Heritage Stands the Test of Time!"
Heritage Stands the Test of Time: The Mitchell House (c. 1965)
3623 Sunnycrest, North Vancouver
This unique home, also known as the Wedge house, was designed by Arthur Erickson in 1965 at the height of the West Coast modern design boom. Finding the home a bit small, the owners added a new section, with a transparent transition element, to ensure that the original home remains distinct and dominant. Through these efforts, once again, “Heritage Stands the Test of Time.”
