Irving House is one of the oldest community heritage sites in British Columbia, a well-preserved 1859 colonial home built for Captain William Irving, a prominent figure in early Fraser River steamboat navigation. Operated by the City of New Westminster, it offers visitors a step back into 19th-century domestic life in the province's first capital. Touring cyclists riding through the Lower Mainland will find it a compact, walkable stop in the heart of historic New Westminster.
