This year’s New Westminster Heritage Homes Tour features a record 10 private heritage homes* historic Irving House, three Places of Interest, the Art Hub at Van Dop Gallery, and the Tour Hub at 218 Queens Avenue — offering a rare opportunity to step inside beautifully preserved and thoughtfully restored spaces spanning generations of design, architecture, and craftsmanship.
Discover the stories behind the doors—from homes designed by notable architect R.A. Berwick, to modest 1930s houses built with affordability in mind, to a mid-century modern home direct from plans published in Popular Mechanics. One residence was once home to the head of the famed Hollywood Hospital, a pioneering centre for addiction treatment, while another holds a remarkable story of hidden gold bars retrieved years later.
This is a self-guided tour, allowing you to visit homes in any order between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Knowledgeable volunteers and a detailed guidebook will provide historical insights at every stop.
Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast, a homeowner, or simply curious, the New Westminster Heritage Homes Tour offers a unique opportunity to experience New Westminster’s history—one home at a time.
