Did you know?

The house on the corner of East Saanich Road and Cultra Avenue is celebra�ng 100 years this year.

We’d love to share your historical stories about the Saanich Peninsula in our newsle�er.

This beau�ful home was built in 1920 for original owner, Charles Marlow White. It was designed by Charles Elwood Watkins, a successful architect in the area. The 1 1/2 storey home had an exterior of white siding and dressed stone, along with some Moorish detailing around the front porch. A truly beau�ful home with 100 years of history and stories!
