Emily Carr House
Visit the Home of a
Famous Canadian Artist and
Author
With an architecture described as both "San Francisco" and "English
Gingerbread", all agree that Emily Carr House
 is on the must-see
list of Victoria's attractions. Centrally located only four blocks
from the Inner Harbour and the Provincial Legislature, the house
offers its visitors a chance to gain an insight into Canada's first
- and best known - independent artist and writer.
Emily was born here in 1871, a scant six months after British
Columbia moved from British colonial status to becoming a province
in the world's newest nation. She used her brushes and pens to
proclaim her pride in this part of Canada for the rest of her life.
