In 1939, a grand home became part of the landscape of North Vancouver. It saw multiple transformations, with a contemporary upgraded design by Kallweit Graham Architecture in 2006.

Originally referred to as “The Croaker House”, this two-storey wood frame property held true Canadian heritage in its walls. It is now giving back to the community it has stood proudly in for so long.

 Eighty-one years later, this home was carefully deconstructed in 2020 and its reclaimed materials and fixtures began their next journey.
