About Hycroft

Christmas at Hycroft, now in its 48th year, raises funds for the Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation to help preserve and maintain Hycroft and its grounds. 

An imposing Italianate mansion, Hycroft was built in the Edwardian era by Alexander Duncan McRae. The McRae family lived in Hycroft until 1942 when it was gifted for to the nation for use as a veterans’ hospital. It was purchased by the University Women’s Club of Vancouver in 1962. Hycroft is one of Vancouver’s most important designated heritage sites.

This year Christmas at Hycroft is a virtual event (due to COVID-19) where you can still enjoy  some of the best Christmas food, gifts and decorations.

HHPF is entirely dependent on donations from members and non-members, as gifts, bequests and memorial gifts. HHPF has funded many of the beautiful aspects of our heritage property as well as some of the unseen and expensive necessities including updating of electric service, sewers, the restoration of the terrace, balustrades, rose garden and pergola.

Donations to HHPF are tax deductible, and help preserve this wonderful example of the city’s heritage for future generations of Vancouver citizens and visitors. For more information on HHPF and to make a donation please contact the Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation through the Club office at office@uwcvancouver.ca or 604-731-4661.
