The Society

To collect, preserve and display the history of Eburne/Marpole buildings and houses; to store and display historical artifacts and to bring people together to share stories past and present as an ongoing community asset.

The property contains a small and modest frame house, which was built in 1912 by Mr. T. Thomas, carpenter. The house was sold to Mr. Henry Colbourne in 1936, and occupied by his family for 45 years, until 1981.

The dwelling, affectionately known as the "Colbourne House", has been recognized by City of Vancouver Heritage Committee and the Marpole community for its significance as one of the original homes built in the period of local transition from farming to township. Location

Facilities & Tours - The grounds around the house are available for community use. Members and the Public are invited to drop around to have a look at the house. If an office person is in, they would be happy to show you around, email us or leave a message on our answering machine to arrange a tour. The rental meeting room with kitchen access is available to community groups for a nominal fee.
