What’s So Special About the Miyazaki House?

The Miyazaki Heritage House stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. Located in the heart of Lillooet, the house exudes charm and nostalgia, offering all who visit a glimpse into the past.

This well-preserved heritage site not only captures the architectural beauty of the past but also tells the stories of the amazing people who once called it home.

Most remarkable is the architecture, craftsmanship, age, and history. The house was built in the Second Empire style with a mansard roof, you’ll notice it has a double-pitched roof with a steep lower slope. The roof is decorated with ornate pediment dormer windows. This architectural style was popular in the mid to late 1800s. Other than in Vancouver and Victoria, this building style is unusual and rare in rural British Columbia.

Support the Miyazaki House

The Miyazaki House Society and partners hold events and workshops at the house and on the grounds throughout the warmer months. Proceeds from these fundraising activities go towards maintaining, restoring, and operating the heritage house.

The house and grounds are also available to rent for small private events such as weddings, family reunions, birthdays, events, and or business meetings. Learn more about renting the facility and our rates here.
