Walking Tour: Yaletown

House Demolished

#15

1021 Richards Street

Built in 1907 for salesman Robert F. Emory, this building was at one time a violin studio. Percy Linden has owned the house since 1970 and in the spring and summer months his many colorful birdhouses are visible. Although increasingly rare, examples of single family homes still remain from the original Yaletown neighbourhood, one of which is the George Leslie House, located at 1386 Hornby Street. This house, completed in 1888 is the oldest surviving house in Vancouver and has been adaptively re-used as an up-scale restaurant.
