Aberthau House, Tudor Revival mansion in Point Grey, Vancouver, Canada.
The 1913 mansion features steeply pitched gable roofs, decorative half-timbering, tall chimneys, and a grand central hall with hardwood paneling.
The federal government acquired the property in 1938 for $94,466, converting it into a Royal Canadian Air Force Officers' Mess during World War II.
Samuel Maclure designed this residence with traditional English Tudor elements, including a central living hall, winding staircase, and stained glass windows.
Located at West 2nd Avenue and Trimble Street, the building now functions as West Point Grey Community Centre, offering art courses and event spaces.
Originally named Rear House, Colonel Victor Spencer renamed it Aberthau in 1918, using Welsh words meaning a place filled with light.
