| History of the Foundation In 1992, responding to a crisis, a group of supporters came together to spearhead an effort to rescue the house and garden. Arthur Erickson had been forced to declare personal bankruptcy and the property was under foreclosure by the holder of a sizable mortgage, with a probable sale and demolition impending. The 'Friends', as they were first called, were led by founder Elizabeth Watts, a landscape architect, who was joined by Hugo Eppich, Kari Huhtala, and Michael Jeffery. Phyllis Lambert, Director and Founder of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, offered her support. Over 100 letters of support from all walks of life were written to the City of Vancouver. |
