Gone, but not forgotten. Read about the house that brought me to North Shore Heritage a few years ago and got me started as a heritage writer. Although it’s no longer standing, I’ve documented it inside and out for you with photos, and shared some history about its early residents.

Have you ever wondered how Heywood Park got its name? What about Mahon, Loutet, Murdo Frazer, Keith Lynn, Bridgman and many more? These legacy park names were intended to honour and recognize people from North Vancouver’s past. While the park names are familiar, the origin of their names is not well known but the history and links to North Vancouver of the men…and women…behind the names is fascinating.
