People/Subject

Lamb/Stirling House

The Lamb/Stirling residence is located at 21864 Old Yale Road, but was originally on 48th Avenue before being relocated and restored by the Langley Heritage Society. This house was built for David Lamb between 1908 and 1910. Lamb had lived in Vancouver before the fire of 1886 and was one of the first people to vote in Vancouver's elections. In 1889 he moved to a farm in Murrayville, and later had this house built. In 1922 the property was sold to the Stirling family. The family operated a cattle farm here until 1960, but owned the house until 1990. The house became a Municipally Designated Heritage Site in the mid 1990s.
