1770 Rockland Avenue
Victoria, BC
Built: 1905-6
Architect: Samuel Maclure (1860-1929)
W. Biggerstaff Wilson commissioned Maclure to design this Elizabethan Revival manor house. Wilson was a son of William Wilson, one of the founders of W. & J. Wilson Clothiers. He reputedly received a large inheritance from a family friend because he was named after him. Dominated by its large hipped roof, this home is considered to be Maclure's most successful Tudor Revival design.
