Jackson Five

0 Artist

At the corner of Jackson Avenue and Union Street on the edge of Strathcona is a row of 5 townhouses aptly nicknamed the Jackson Five.  The second townhouse is the home and studio of local potter, Matthew Freed who has lived and worked here for 15 years.  The building itself has heritage status and dates back to 1908 – in its 100 year plus history it has housed a variety of newcomers to Vancouver eager to start a new life in Canada.
