The Schiplo Residence was transported by barge from North Vancouver to Bowen Island on January 20
It was his love of heritage houses and an opportunity to save a piece of history that led Juan Ramos to rescue a quaint, Craftsman-style house and have it barged to Bowen Island.
The house is on the City of North Vancouver Heritage Register, which lists buildings with significant heritage value. It is described as a smaller house, tall and narrow, with a front veranda featuring lathe-turned columns and decorative brackets. Two months ago, Ramos acquired the development permits to put the heritage house on his lot. It was a long process because the property has many environmental challenges, including three streams and a dense forest. But Ramos and his residential designer, Amy Adams, persisted as they worked closely with environmental specialist, Micaele Florendo.
