See those houses over there? That's where we are going next. . . Some of the houses along this street belonged to famous Army officers and they are now re-furbished in the furniture of the times. Three of the most famous are the O.O. Howard House, the Marshall House and the Grant House. These are opened to the public. One is a restaurant. The rest of the houses on Officers Row are remodeled and used as office space or condos. The city of Vancovuer got them from the Army for ONE PENNY!
This house is open for tours Monday through Friday. Donations are accepted but not mandatory. Only the bottom floors are accessible to the public.
The Grant House is now a fine restaurant open to the general public and very popular for receptions and festivals during which the general public eats there as if it were a big chain restaurant.
This is the Marshall House. It is open for tours also. You can look on your own during certain hours or get the whole story from the volunteer. It has been re-furbished with Victorian style furniture. The upstairs rooms are rented out to businesses.
We got to go into the tourret shaped one because the business had moved.
