Gabriola House at the corner of Davie and Nicola Streets in Vancouver.
One of Vancouver’s most iconic homes, Gabriola House, is on the market. The pricetag: $10 million. Also known as the Rogers Sugar mansion, the house was built in 1901 for American transplant B.T. Rogers, the founder of Rogers Sugar, and its A-list heritage status protects it from demolition—the recent fate of many historical West End homes. The Samuel Maclure-designed mansion with its Gabriola Island sandstone (hence its name) has been an upscale apartment building and was most recently a restaurant, but it has sat vacant for the last six years. The 25,938-sq.-ft. property includes the mansion itself, 26 parking stalls and supposedly a hidden tunnel that led to a bootleg-friendly nightclub during the prohibition years.
