City of Vancouver 2007 Heritage Awards
February 19, 2007

Not that I had anything to do with them winning but it was a wonderful coincidence that two houses I had the pleasure of doing house history projects for, 844 Dunlevy and the Joy Kogawa House at 1450 West 64th Avenue, took top honours at the City of Vancouver 2007 Heritage Awards.
Graham Elvidge and Kathleen Stormont, the owners of 844 Dunlevy, won an Award of Honour for their heroic efforts in restoring their East End landmark Queen Anne House built in 1899 by Frederick William Sentell, the man who built Vancouver's first City Hall on Powell Street.
The Land Conservancy and the Save The Joy Kogawa House Committee won an Award of Honour for their outstanding advocacy efforts in saving the historic Joy Kogawa House.
It was an honour to be mentioned by both recipients in their acceptance speeches. Another highlight of the evening was seeing Lisa Smedman of the Vancouver Courier win an Award of Merit for her painstakingly researched and brilliantly written articles on the history of Vancouver's neighbourhoods that have won Lisa a huge and devoted fan base in Vancouver. Congratulations Lisa! I can't wait for them all to come out in book form!
