Emily Carr House

Emily Carr House is the birthplace of the celebrated Canadian painter and writer Emily Carr, a wooden Victorian home built in the 1860s in the James Bay district of Victoria. Restored to its late nineteenth-century appearance, it interprets the artist's childhood and her later career capturing the forests and Indigenous cultures of the West Coast. Period rooms and garden recall the genteel colonial society into which she was born. The house is a designated heritage site and a place of pilgrimage for admirers of her art.
