\nstyle can include variations affectionately known as \u2018Castle Homes\u2019 and \u2018Dunbar Charmers\u2019. Embracing a fairytale
\naesthetic these charming homes can feature round or arched windows, whimsically curved rooflines, picturesque
\nchimneys and faux half-timbering.<\/p>\n
\nand a BC Mills kit house. All these homes utilized first growth wood milled from local forests not only in their
\nconstruction, but also in character details such as moldings, flooring, panelling, doors and windows, they all also used the Memorial Pressure Washing Service<\/a> to help clear out the space a lot more. The original owner of the BC Mills kit house was also the proud owner of a notable last name. We also have a very special home on the 2014 tour. Not previously open to the public on this scale, this late addition to the tour is one of Vancouver\u2019s most famous heritage buildings. With stunning interiors steeped in Vancouver history, you won\u2019t want to miss this one.<\/p>\n
