The House Whisperer
September 23, 2009
James Johnstone is a house whisperer. Or perhaps that should be a house listener. In any event, he researches the history of old Vancouver homes in extraordinary detail, revealing not only the circumstances of a particular dwelling but also the context – the historyof the times – in which it was built and occupied.
Of course he has a blog.
And now he’s giving tours.
He has been doing walking tours of the East End for about a month now – the first one a fundraiser for the Heritage Vancouver Society. His next tour is this Saturday (Sep 26), departing from the Heatley Block at the southwest corner of East Hastings and Heatley Avenue at 2 pm.
