Emily Carr House
Visit the Home of a Famous Canadian Artist and Author
With an architecture described as both "San Francisco" and "English Gingerbread", all agree that Emily Carr House
 is on the must-see list of Victoria's attractions. Centrally located only four blocks from the Inner Harbour and the Provincial Legislature, the house offers its visitors a chance to gain an insight into Canada's first- and best known - independent artist and writer.
Emily was born here in 1871, a scant six months after British Columbia moved from British colonial status to becoming a province in the world's newest nation. She used her brushes and pens to proclaim her pride in this part of Canada for the rest of her life.
