Photo of the Week - Campbell Residence

Vancouver Heritage Architecture - Campbell Residence twilight exteriorIt's time once again for the City of Vancouver Heritage Awards, and since our photos have been part of several major awards submissions (among them, Christ Church Cathedral, and the Blanca Street Residence), I thought it entirely apropos to feature this photo of the Campbell Residence, lovingly restored, completed (the entire top floor was mostly unfinished when we first photographed it as construction began) and updated by owner and VHF Founding Pillar Janet Campbell, architect Robert Lemon, and Murray Wystrach Construction. Good work, everyone!

It's always insightful photographing a project like this at steps between initial demolition and completion. We photographed this house annually for the two-years-and-change the house was under renovation, which makes for a nice photo archive for both the current owner, future owners, and anyone wishing later to research the history of the house. Here's how the rear elevation above looked when we first saw it:
