NV townhouse wins award

THE HERITAGE Society of Brit-
ish Columbia has granted an
Award of Honor to Noort Devel-
opments and Assoc. (Field Con-
struction) for a heritage restora-
tion project in the City of North
Vancouver.

The award ceremony, held on
Tuesday, June 19, was attended
by approximately 30 people, in-
cluding city council members,
Heritage Society representatives,
Noort (Field) representatives,
Heritage Advisory Committee
members and other interested citi-
zens.

The ‘‘Vance Highlands’’ at 620
West 15th St. is a townhouse de-
velopment which includes a
restored heritage building of great
community importance.

This heritage building was the
former estate home of George W.
Vance who served as an Alderman
and Mayor for the city between
1913 and 1925. When the City and
District of North Vancouver fell
into receivership, he was ap-
pointed Commissioner in 1936 un-
til his death in 1944. As Commis-
sioner, Mr. Vance took the place
of both municipal councils,

The building itself was con-
structed in 1910 and exhibits a
blend of late Queen Anne and Co-
lonial Revival features. Its design
includes a gabled roof with fish-
scale shingles, dentils, leaded glass
windows and a large wrap-around
veranda.

The retention and restoration of
this building was secured through
a rezoning of the site, in accor-

mended for its efforts in working
with the city to achieve the
preservation of this important
