In 1861 John and Charlotte Dandridge built a house in a Victoria community now known as Fernwood. They lived there until circa 1871. The event to unveil this plaque was a cooperative effort by the Society and the current owners and restorers Linda and Davyd. They undertook an extensive renovation and it received heritage designation in 2003, and has won both Hallmark Society and Heritage Society of BC awards. Read the story “The House that John Built”
