1770 Rockland Avenue

1770 Rockland Avenue is a City of Victoria Heritage Building. It was designed by architect Samuel Maclure and built in 1905 by contractor George Calder for Biggerstaff Wilson (died 1925).

Biggerstaff Wilson ran a cold storage business on Herald Street in downtown Victoria. His business buildings were 532 Herald Street (now a condominium development called “The Biggerstaff”) and 536 Herald Street.

In 2011, 1770 Rockland Avenue was converted into seven townhouse condominiums.
