Hycroft Manor fireplace (detail) Photo G. Sim

This is one of a number of sculptural decorations created by Charles Marega for Hycroft Manor, at 1489 McRae in Vancouver, just east of 16th and Granville. The McRae mansion is one of Vancouver's most magnificent early houses, with a long and interesting history. It is now owned by the UBC University Women's Club, who lovingly restored it after it fell into dis-use after World War II, and now maintain it as their "clubhouse" as well as making it available for other functions.
