Join Heritage Vancouver on this lively walking tour of the West End, led by Heritage
Vancouver Board Member and museum educator Isaac Vanderhorst. Experience the
history of the West End through the eyes of Isaac’s ancestors, the Abbott's, residents of
this well-known neighbourhood during the 1920’s and 30’s.

Based on family stories the tour will meander around the West End and will be
interspersed with visits to threatened heritage buildings and successful preservation
projects. Hear about momentous events such as prohibition and the Depression that
marked the neighbourhood’s past, long before the advent of today’s high rises. You’ll
learn about the history of this unique neighbourhood, and will see prominent, heritage
buildings as well as a few jewels off the beaten path.

Of special note: The historical houses and apartments facing demolition risk in the West
End are part of Heritage Vancouver's 2012 Top Ten Endangered List.
