Mole Hill is located in Vancouver's high-density West End. It is Vancouver's only intact Victorian and Edwardian neighbourhood, with more than 30 houses built as early as 1888. The block had been under the threat of demolition for redevelopment since the early 1950s. As late as 1996, 26 City owned heritage homes, many listed on the City of Vancouver Heritage Register, were slated for demolition to make way for either park use, playing fields for an adjacent park, or residential re-development.

After a five-year campaign to save the block, led by the community-based Mole Hill Living Heritage Society (sister society to the MHCHS) and city-wide supporters, Vancouver City Council decided not to demolish all of the houses and adopted policies to guide the future re-development of Mole Hill.
