VANCOUVER
We were lucky enough to
have visited this grand residence when it was owned by one of the
world's largest shipping tycoons. That's his car above in front of the
home which was often featured in movies, television and
magazines.
On nearly three acres of the city's most expensive stretch of
land in the ultra-exclusive First Shaughnessy district, The Hollies
is an spectacular residence. The home was built in 1912 by George Macdonald in the
Neo-Classical Revival style, then in the mid 50's was used by a company for
commercial use and subsequently sold and restored for residential use.
