OPEN 7 DAYS AWEEK

Scottish-born Hugh Galbraith arrived in New Westminster in 1884. In 1891, he es-tablished Galbraith and Sons, a sash and door company. Three years later, he built the mansion at 131 Eighth Street to showcase the family’s millworking business. The house used New York architect Henry Hudson Holly’s design to demonstrate their millwork skill with abundant detail.

Hugh Galbraith died in 1910 but his sons carried on. In 1924, the family spent $10,000 on remodeling their home. Galbraith family members owned the house un-til 1936. However, after non-payment of property taxes, the City of New Westminster took possession of the property.

Galbraith HouseIn 1940, the City allowed a women’s service club, the Soroptimists, to convert the house into a club and canteen for soldiers. Westminster House, as it was named, had a café, a table tennis area, a piano, a jukebox and a billiard room. Fifteen-year-old Jean Gray of Victoria painted the billiard room murals while a friend painted Disney characters in other parts of the house.

In 1946, new owners converted the building into a rooming house. The house went through a number of owners, remaining a rental property until the late 1970s. By the 1990s, many newspapers claimed the house looked like a stereotypical haunted house and the house was in danger of being demolished.

Marie and Ron Jang of Tanex Mouldings restored the house in 1998 as part of a Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the City of New Westminster. Today it is used as a conference centre and office space.

For more on Galbraith House and other buildings in New West-minster, visit Architectural Gems in the Royal City, in Gallery 7, at the New Westminster Museum and Archives located in the Anvil Centre. The exhibition runs until May 8, 2016.
