In 1908 R.D. Rorison, a prominent real estate developer, bought the English Bay Cannery, tore it down and built this house for himself. It's in the heart of Kitsilano, just blocks from West 4th, the hippie capital of Canada in the 1960s. The Peace House, as it became known, was a popular crash pad used by the Grateful Dead, Ginger Baker, and Timothy Leary, among others.
