Here's another of Vic West's beautiful Heritage homes, built in 1890. The cost of construction was reported in 1891 as $2,400. Times have changed! Most of Victoria's older homes are wood construction - hardly surprising since this province has always had plenty of timber.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I like it! And I esp. like their yard decoration. I bet it was pretty lit up at night.
This one's a beauty!
This one is absolutely gorgeous!
I periodically travel to western Ontario. It's interesting to contrast the construction of old homes there to here. Over there the old majestic homes are all brick, often with verandas.
