Wark/Dumais House

The Wark/Dumais House is located at 5950 Glover Road. The main part of the house was constructed by sixteen year old Robert Wark for his father, mother and brothers. After its completion in 1890 or 1891, the family came across from Ireland to take up residence. Wark was an early Warden, or mayor, of Langley. The back kitchen area was added in 1900, and the verandah was added in 1910. The Dumais family moved into the house in the 1920s. Langley City purchased the 87-acre Dumais Farm at the north end of town for $2 million in 1976. The house was designated as a heritage site when it was restored by the Langley Heritage Society in 1987. Kwantlen College developed the Langley campus with the house as a focal point for its buildings.
