Leonard Cole of Urban Core Ventures didnB次元官网网址檛 anticipate learning more about his history when embarking on a redevelopment in Oak Bay.

The man behind the house move from King George Terrace this week B次元官网网址� that wrapped with the final building unloaded last night B次元官网网址� has done four or five house moves and rehabilitated or restored many more.

B次元官网网址淚nitially when I first started the process I was trying to relocate the house on the property and retain it,B次元官网网址� said Cole of the home on King George Terrace. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a pretty substantial house and if we have an opportunity to save a house we will.B次元官网网址�

The home was too large for the, now registered, four new waterfront lots.

The five bedroom, six bathroom main house and one bedroom guest house left Oak Bay via the foreshore and arrived in Shirley last night after a 19-hour journey. Shirley is a small community between Sooke and Jordan River on Vancouver Island.

B次元官网网址淭he only real option was going off the rocks which brings in a whole bunch of other challenges,B次元官网网址� Cole said. B次元官网网址淚t was a big undertaking B次元官网网址� a little nerve-wracking. It was a nail biter right to the end, we had gale force winds coming up last night right near the end.B次元官网网址�

While the quest for new property started on Salt Spring Island, he found a perfect place in Shirley, which sparked renewed interest in his family history.

B次元官网网址淪aving and preserving this beautiful home, the Sea Lion was very important to me and especially where I found its new home,B次元官网网址� Cole said. B次元官网网址淪hirley, B.C., is near and dear to my family. Edwin Clark, my great grandfather settled the area and owned property. My grandfather Ray Clark and my mother Shirley have fond memories of Muir Creek and the surrounding area.B次元官网网址�

Originally built in 1928, the home will now serve as a refuge for his family because of the family history.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 pretty neat so the plan is to keep it and retain it,B次元官网网址� Cole said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 in position now, itB次元官网网址檒l be a long road to get it put back together.B次元官网网址�
