Re-Birth of Vancouver Heritage 'Fairview House' Built 1892
Interior Brings Back Edwardian Style With a Contemporary Twist
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/08/12 -- One of Vancouver's iconic heritage buildings, , has undergone a major makeover. Between Oak and Granville on 8th Avenue, Fairview House's 7,000 feet now features a modern Edwardian style interior with luxury executive offices. The house was originally built in 1892 for Sir Dr. John Reid, honorary physician to the Queen of England, and his wife Lady Georgina Hill Reid, founder of the Vancouver Council of Women. From 1900 to 1910, Fairview House was home to Sir Walter C. Nichol former owner and editor of the Province newspaper and 12th Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia.
To match the original character of the house, the interior was completely redone with 9'9" foot ceilings, decorative dark wood wainscoting, white walls and crown moulding, new walnut flooring, updated electricity, data cable, lighting, plumbing and heating, plus modern conveniences and luxuries:
"I felt a mission to restore the entire house and to honour its significant place in the history of the city as well as translate the outside restored beauty to the inside of Fairview House," said David Kaplan, President of Revenue Property Group, the property's owner.

"This is one of Vancouver's oldest surviving buildings. It was built when Granville Street south of the bridge was a forested mud track," added Kaplan. "Restoring beautiful old buildings provokes a sense of wonderment and adds historic relevance to the present."
The renovation team for this project is made up of local talent:
