Emily Carr House, Historical museum in Victoria, Canada.

Emily Carr House is a two-storey Italianate villa built in 1863 for the Carr family, designed by architects Wright & Sanders. Its exterior was restored to its original design and colour using period photographs, and the interior repainted after layers of later paint and wallpaper were removed to reveal the original patterns. The parlour holds a piano once owned by the Carrs' neighbours.

The house was built in 1863 for the respected Carr family and was home to artist Emily Carr during her early years. It connects to the story of a key figure in Canadian art history.

The house displays personal items and correspondence that reveal how Emily Carr connected with the forests and communities of British Columbia. Visitors can observe how her surroundings shaped her artistic vision and perspective.

The interior can be toured during warmer months with a guide, and there are programs about art history and regional life. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the exhibits carefully.

The garden around Carr House is laid out in the Victorian style, not as a native-plant garden. Emily Carr recalled hawthorn hedges, primrose banks and shrubberies, and wrote that everything about the place was extremely English. The house itself was built of Californian redwood.
