In 1926 the Fleck brothers had this Tudor Revival style house built in First Shaughnessy. The brothers were dealers in machinery and industrial supplies.

The estate, with its encircling granite wall, anchors one corner of The Crescent.

It is noted for its prominent porte-cochere and the dramatic curved gable on the front-facing library, and its stained glass.

The Fleck Mansion was the first Vancouver ‘show house’ used as a fundraiser for the Vancouver Symphony in 1971. The Governor General Roland Michener opened the three-week event showcasing the lavish refitting of the interior, which includes a reverse stairway with a landing over the front entry, with wainscoting and turned baluster railings. It also includes a library with 10-foot ceilings, a large reception room panelled in oak, and an ensuite bathroom that features a ‘Casa Loma’ walk-in shower with concentric rings of chrome tubing.
