This little charmer is set in a West End block (bounded by Barclay, Nicola, Haro and Broughton Streets) called Barclay Heritage Square and featuring nine historic houses built between 1890 and 1908. Roedde House, built in 1893 for Vancouver's first bookbinder, Gustav Roedde, has been owned by the city since 1966. It's operated by the Roedde House Preservation Society, a non-profit volunteer group, and has been handsomely restored. There are guided tours and afternoon tea. Contact the museum for information about guided tours, admission charges, and rental for special events. If you call when the office is closed you will get a recorded message.
