About Urquhart House
Urquhart House is a Vancouver Heritage House built in 1907, located on Nelson Street in Vancouver’s West End. Formerly a private home, Urquhart house was converted into a rooming house in 1958 to be later transformed to the six unit residential apartment it is today. It has unique and sometimes quirky suite designs that one often finds in converted Heritage Houses. Urquhart House has been named after the first occupant of the house who remained until 1917, Allen G. Urquhart. To view floor plans and see additional photos visit our website at www carreramc com
