Helmcken House675 Belleville Street
Helmcken House was built by Dr. John Sebastian Helmcken, a surgeon with the Hudson's Bay Company. It is one of the oldest houses in British Columbia still on its original site. Dr. Helmcken set up house in Victoria when he married the daughter of Governor James Douglas in 1852. He went on to become a statesman and helped negotiate the entry of British Columbia into Canada, as a province. The good doctor's original 19th century medical kit is among the interesting items on display. |

Thunderbird ParkBelleville and Douglas at the Royal BC Museum
Thunderbird Park was established in 1941 when a display of totem poles from the provincial museum's collection was set up on six vacant city lots at the corner of Belleville and Douglas streets in Victoria. By 1952, deterioration of the carvings had become a serious concern, and Anthropology Curator Wilson Duff initiated a pole restoration program. Mungo Martin, a Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwagu't) carver who had started a similar program at the University of British Columbia, was hired as chief carver. The original poles from Thunderbird Park were moved to inside storage and replaced by replica versions carved by Martin and others working under his direction, including Henry Hunt (who was married to Martin's adopted daughter) and Hunt's sons, Tony and Richard. The replacement poles were erected in the park over a number of years. |
