George Leslie's Lane Cottage
Builder: George Leslie

This circa 1901 Yaletown home was relocated to Mole Hill in 2002 and restored by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation. It was originally situated on the lane at [t]he rear of 1380 Hornby Street. Plasterer George Leslie built it behind the Queen Anne style home he built for his family in 1889, now one of the oldest houses in the city. The Lane Cottage is a rare survivor of the early days when two homes might be built on any single lot. Its smaller size and simple box design were common in Vancouver around the turn of the 19th century. It has retained its orientation toward the lane at this new location.
