Ross Bay Villa

The beautifully restored house above is the Ross Bay Villa. It is directly across the street from the Ross Bay Cemetery and is one of the few remaining buildings in this area dating from the 1860s. It is now owned by the Ross Bay Villa Society and is open to the public. It's a beautiful old cottage and well worth a visit if you are interested in Victoria's early history and heritage buildings.

You Are Invited...

...to the Ross Bay Villa Lawn Party. Above is Ross Bay Villa, one of the few remaining houses in Victoria dating from the 1860s. It is also one of the few that is essentially intact. Ross Bay Villa has been undergoing restoration for some time now under the auspices of The Land Conservancy, a non-profit, charitable land trust that works throughout the province of British Columbia. The Lawn Party is to celebrate the completed restoration of the dining room and will take place from 1 pm until 4 pm on Labour Day Monday, September 6, 2010. Admission is free. House Tour and Cream Tea will be $7 each. Ross Bay Villa is located at 1490 Fairfield Road across from the Ross Bay Cemetery. I'll be there! 63% of the people who kindly voted in yesterday's poll suggested I should go and photograph Craigdarroch Castle again and the result is to the right. I think it was worth the trip. Thank you to everyone who took the time to give me his or her opinion.
