点评:Our guide Pascal gave us a thorough and entertaining tour through this Victoria mansion and home of one of Canada’s greatest artists. While not many of the furnishings or decor pieces are original to the home, great effort has been made to recreate the atmosphere , the furnishings, and possessions within to represent the time period and the Carr family’s station in Victoria’s society. Many anecdotes of Emily Carr’s life and that of her sisters created a rounded view of life in Victoria during Emily’s childhood and later life as a female artist. The re-creation of the wall coverings and paint colours true to the time period shows the dedication of the society committed to preserving this home. Well done.
An observation, a query was, why is there no caretaking, simple sweeping or vacuuming to keep the entry, the hallways, carpets, and stairway free of gravel, leaves and dirt tracked in by guests. The time period rugs and lovely painted canvas flooring certainly will suffer from the accumulation winter debris,

一个观察,一个疑问是,为什么没有照顾、简单的清扫或吸尘来保持入口、走廊、地毯和楼梯没有客人留下的砾石、树叶和污垢。那个时期的地毯和漂亮的彩绘帆布地板肯定会受到冬季碎片堆积的影响,
