Tour heritage district

THIS MODEST home, on East
Braemar Road in the District of
North Vancouver, is one of the
earliest homes built in the area.

NORTH SHORE
HERITAGE
By Dorothy Foster

It has a distinctive character about
it, and although it has been added to
several times, these additions have
only enhanced its charm, as has the
way it has been painted.

It was originally built for Irene
Ross. Although it doesn’t lie within
the boundaries of the North Lonsdale
Historic District, it is included in the
heritage inventory for the district,
and is worthy of a walk-by or a drive
past to enjoy it in its lovely treed and
landscaped setting.

This can be done while taking a
self-directed tour of the Upper
Lonsdale Historic District. First, park
your car near the corner of Osborne
Road and Lonsdale Avenue. You'll
find yourself at Carisbrooke Park.

Right on the comer by the park is
a noticeable white sign. This sign
includes a map of important heritage
homes in the area and gives a back-
ground history plus an illustrated
segment or portion of these homes.

Roy Pallant, North Vancouver
historian, worked on the histories,
while Anthony Field, graphic design-
er, and Ken Pool, illustrator, were
responsible for the layout and art-
work for this informative sign.

It was sponsored by the North
Shore Real Estate Board (Sussex
Realty), and was unveiled about
three years ago by Mayor Murray
Dykeman.

It is easy to follow the map and to
locate these homes. You can go to
sce homes that interest you, the
Thomas Nye House, for example,

considered by many to be the centre- Road East, with a stop to take in the

PaRTICIPAlTion
(OB Pry eg OF)

piece of the North Lonsdale area.

If you feel you waat a guided
tour, you can wait and go on a walk-
ing tour with Pallant on his
September heritage tour of all of
Queens Road West and Windsor

interior of St. Martin’s Church.

You'll get some good exercise,
see some lovely homes and gardens,
and you'll learn a great deal about
the history of these heritage homes
and this historic district.
