2015 Haro Street was the last house on the north side of Haro Street, at the corner of Haro Street and Park Road (later called Lagoon Drive). It appears to be the only house in the West of Denman area that was not strictly aligned with the street grid, probably to enhance the house’s views to Lost Lagoon.

Roderick Campbell, Junior built the house about 1904.

Legal Description: District Lot 185, Block 66, Lot 23.

Rod Campbell, Junior lived in the house until 1919.

In the 1920s and 1930s the house was a private home and then a rooming house.

Vancouver Sun, February 16, 1935, page 19, column 3.

In 1930, a realtor describe the site as an “ideal view apartment site.”

Vancouver Sun, April 19, 1930, page 23, columns 2-3.

In 1952 the house was demolished and an apartment building appeared on the site. (Sometimes the building is called “Lagoon Manor.” Other times it is “Arniston Apartments.”)
