Brentwood
Bay Heritage House,
located only minutesfrom the famous
Butchart
Gardens, was built in 1912 and is believed to have been designed
by Samuel McClure, one of Victoria's most notable architects.
The characteristics of his buildings are the expansive roof with
large front gables and bracketing finials, stone base and tapering
columns to the roof-line.
The
house has beautiful stained glass accents throughout. The
Brentwood Room even has stained glass accents over
the bed. The stain glass lends character and charm throughout
the house.
The
house was purchased in 1974 by Evelyn
Hardy and her family.They had been searching Brentwood
Bay for a suitable home for a family of four, without any success.
Evelyn was passing 7247 West Saanich Rd when something told her
to go knock on the front door, even though there was no "For
Sale" sign on the property. The owner, without any introductions,
began to show Evelyn the house, as if it were going to be purchased.
Evelyn had never previously met anyone from this family, and it
is because of this experience that Evelyn knew this house was
special.
Since
purchasing the beautiful heritage house, Evelyn had carefully
and lovingly performed various renovations to the property. The
Bed & Breakfast is her pride and joy. She looks
forward to personally welcoming you to your home away from home.
