 A
neighbourhood of graceful mansions showcasing striking architectural details and
lush grounds, Rockland will surely inspire you. Beginning in the 1880s, its
Arts-and-Crafts-style homes were designed by well-known architects.
The Fairfield neighbourhood enjoys some of the best ocean and mountain views in
the city. It's home to the historic and beautifully landscaped Ross Bay
Cemetery, which is full of impressive marble, sandstone and granite monuments to
many famous local citizens.
Government House is also found here. The official residence of BC's Lieutenant
Governor, representative of Her Majesty the Queen, this is the ceremonial home
of all British Columbians.
It's an interesting embodiment of BC, past and present, and well worth a
visit. Its magnificent gardens are open to the public. |
