Irving House

Located in the heart of New Westminster, Irving House is one of the oldest community heritage sites in BC. Step back to the 1800s as you enter the colonial home of Captain William Irving.

Over 140 years of memories live within Irving House “…the handsomest, the best and most home-like house of which British Columbia can yet boast…“ was how Irving House was described in the British Columbian newspaper in April 1865.

During your visit you will admire the ornate ceiling plasterwork, the glow of original wallpaper and the elaborate fireplaces. You can easily imagine the festivities and celebrations that took place in the parlour and formal dining room. Let the costumed guides step you back in time!
