Two heritage homes going for a dollar each in Boston Bar area
31.1.2014

In Vancouver, you're hard-pressed to find a home for less than a million dollars.

But the town of Boston Bar in the Fraser Canyon is offering up two historic houses for $1 apiece.

"We're trying to find a way to save these houses," said Lloyd Forman, the director for Boston Bar with the Fraser Valley Regional District.

"We finally came up with a plan that if we could offer the house and the lot for a dollar, it might be worthwhile for someone to purchase it. And the only stipulation we have is that the exterior retains the heritage value it has. The interiors can be restored to whatever comfort value they wish."

The Fraser Valley Regional District owns the land. On Tuesday night, their board gave staff authority to move ahead with the plan.
