History & Innkeepers
History
Fisher House, as well as its two neighboring homes, was designed by architect, Charles Elwood Watkins, of Cornwall England. Several structures in Victoria such as the Victoria Library on Yates, local schools and the James Bay Inn, the third oldest hotel in Victoria, BC Canada can also make this claim. Most of the original features of the house remain. The old growth fir floors have been restored, wood paneling and beams as well as plaster walls and ceilings can also be seen. Lovely stain glass windows are original, save one, and the lovely craftsmanship can be seen in the detailing of the hand rail and fire place. The front steps and porch have recently been completely rebuilt capturing this same craftsmanship.
Meet the Innkeepers
Jen and Cal began hosting guests at Fisher House B&B in June 2009 after Cal was posted to Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt and Jen retired from education administration. Combining three of their favorite things guests, food and playing outside, the bed and breakfast in Victoria brings them great joy and it shows.
