The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program encourages the preservation of heritage buildings in Kelowna and furthers public awareness of the significance of our irreplaceable heritage resources.
The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program meets regularly to review grant applications for heritage building restorations and for initiatives that raise awareness of Kelowna’s heritage.
The City of Kelowna annual allotment has helped many heritage building owners restore and maintain their heritage buildings. The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program administered through the Central Okanagan Hertiage Society (COHS) and funded by the City of Kelowna continues this important program.
Owners of heritage homes and heritage advocates are encouraged to use this web site as a resource towards restoring heritage properties in Kelowna and in raising awareness of our past.

History:
Built in 1929, apparently for rental, by Albert Whiffin (who appears to have lived on Willow Street, on the lot backing on this one). Early occupants are unknown, but from 1946 to the 1950s, it was the residence of William James (Jim) Logie (Wife Ethelwyn), principal of Kelowna High School during 1950s/60s. As well as being High School principal, Logie was secretary of the Kelowna International Regatta for twenty years, and was Chair of the Kelowna General Hospital Board in 1948.
