Roedde House Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in Vancouver's vibrant West End, the Roedde House Museum is a beautifully preserved time capsule from the 1890s. Stepping inside this late-Victorian home feels like walking directly into the daily life of a middle-class family at the turn of the century. The rooms are meticulously furnished with period-appropriate pieces, from the formal parlour to the cozy kitchen, creating an intimate and authentic atmosphere. It’s a quiet, charming escape from the modern high-rises that now surround it.
Collection Highlights
The museum's charm lies in its complete domestic setting—you'll see everything from original family photographs and a pump organ in the parlour to a cast-iron cookstove and household gadgets in the kitchen. Guided tours often include stories about the Roedde family themselves, making the history feel personal and alive.
