Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

A delightful piece of large-scale folk art, this house deserves some kind of heritage designation/protection.
It is pure fun.
Demolition? No!!! This is an absolute marvel. Go start a protest demonstration.
Wow. Spectacular. I will read the article now.
Oh no, not demolition?? I love this house and have many pictures of it. I visit it with my brother every time I am over in Victoria. It is too bad it can't be saved. Or moved or something. It's unique and creative and imaginative. I remember the first time I took photos of it, I was sure someone would come running out and yell at me! I'll sign a petition to save it!!
Too bad it couldn't be incorporated into the new development! I hope some of the pieces are used.
I love this little old house - such character, just like its previous owner. I'm glad you snapped a photo before they tear it down.
What a shame to hear they are going to tear it down. I hope it's saved!
Thanks for the update. I never thought to ask what swallowed anchor meant.
