Here's another of Victoria's heritage houses. This one is described as "folk Victorian" with Queen Anne cosmetic features. This house was twice slated for demolition to make way for high-rises but was moved instead and restored in the early 1980's. In 1983, Norman Pearson received a Hallmark Society Award for his restoration work.

Oh this is exquisite! With the fence and roses, it feels like stepping back in time. How wonderful that this was saved.
