I have signed up with a MeetUp group that organizes photowalks around Vancouver. The organizer of the group was approached by a realtor to shoot a Tudor Revival styled home that was built along the Fraser River in 1925. The house was built by Willard Kitchen, a director at Pacific Great Eastern Railway, who raised three daughters here with his wife. Two of the daughters never married and the third one had a daughter who lived in the house until she passed away in 2006.
The house is now being sold for CAD$ 8.5 million and since it not considered a designated heritage property there is a possibility that it will be demolished.
Together with 30 other shutterbugs I had the opportunity to shoot this wonderful house with its amazing original details such as an intercom to call the servants, original light fixtures, an old safe and old bathrooms.
