INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / FEBRUARY 21, 1989

 

 

Home of Captain William Irving

to be Restored

The home of pioneer river-
boat captain William Irving is
about to undergo a sensitive
heritage facelift.

The home, which dates from
the early 1860’s, was preserved
through the efforts of the Native
Sons and Native Daughters of
B.C., Posts No. 4, New
Westminster, and has been open
to the public as the city’s His-
toric Centre since 1950. It is
now governed by a Board of
Trustees.

 

This restoration project will
be the first ever undertaken on
Irving House, which has been
preserved and maintained, but
never restored. Features to
watch for are the reconstruction
of the front balcony to its
original full length, reinstalla-
tion of an awning over the back
stairs, and general stabilization
of much of the architectural
detail.

This project was made pos-
sible in part by a grant of

 

$45,265, just received from the

College Education Committee
