Carr House! In the Middle of Our Street

So I was cleaning up a bunch of draft posts I’ve made to see what to finish and what to chuck, and I found this one from about a year ago, when we were living on Government Street in Victoria. Living in Prince George, you’re not exposed to architecture from more than a few decades ago very often, but living in one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the province is another matter altogether. We lived a block away from Emily Carr’s childhood home, a little further up the same street was where she spent her last years, and a right-hand turn would take you to the home she spent much of her adult life in. It was an interesting experience, but I think the only reason I drafted this post (with the title and the picture) was because I liked the pun. Was it worth it? Sure, why not?
