It's been several years since I visited the house in James Bay where Emily Carr grew up and spent much of her adult life. When I stopped there last Sunday, however, I discovered it is only open during the tourist season from May until September. A National Historic Site, it's well worth a visit. It's a lovely old house still looking as good, I'm sure, as when our most famous artist lived there.

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.

Very pretty home. I see they have holiday lights up. Wonder what it looks like at night? Does anyone live there?
That is a very fine building. I looked at some of her work. Impressive career.
Some of the old houses inVictoria are really beautiful!
I have visited this spot a few times when it was opened.
Thanks all for your kind comments.
@JoJo - You asked a few days ago about Victoria's Xmas Lights - I plan to go out some evening soon and take a few pics for you.
And yes, when I visited the Carr House a few years ago there was a family living there. The lower part of the house is restored in Victorian fashion and I think the family lives in the upper part of the house.
