Cloud over Keating Farm

The late 1800’s farmhouse is roughly 5,000 square feet and underwent various modifications between 1940 to 1960, most of which were damaging to the building’s heritage value. Due to an overall long term lack of maintenance, the building fell into a state of deep disrepair. During their brief ownership, The Land Conservancy (TLC) of British Columbia performed substantial work to stabilize the failing farmhouse.

In 2014, Rebecca and George Papadopoulos purchased the property from TLC and embarked on a project to repair and improve the building to create a functional and sustainable residential living space while preserving and restoring key character elements and heritage value. After five intense years of work, in 2019 this goal was achieved. In 2020, Heritage BC recognized their achievement with an honour award for heritage conservation.
