Mackin House Museum gets a facelift with the newly painted exterior, so come and check it out!
Painted in magnificent colours of Edwardian Buff and Hastings Red,
Mackin House embodies Edwardian colours and style. Typical exterior paint colour had one darker accent colour on top and the rest of the house including all trim was painted a light beige or pastel colour. The sashes and door could be darker, and in our case they are black. The style of house has two primary influences: French architecture from the18th century and the designs of Sir Christopher Wren of England in the 17th Century.
MACKIN HOUSE IS TURNING 101 !!!
Mackin House is once again opening our doors for the 2nd Annual Open House on
Saturday, September 18th, from noon to 4pm. All visitors are invited for a guided tour
through the heritage house to see how life would have been one hundred years ago.
Visit us for a wonderful journey back in time and discover your history. There will
also be activities for children, entertainment, food, music and much more! Mr. Mikes
will also be here serving barbeque burgers. It is bound to be a fun-filled anniversary
Coffee House Evening
“Wonderful acoustics” was the response from the musicians and attendees. The parlour and dining room at Mackin House have been the venue for coffee house evenings organized by the Museum in support of SHARE and the Coquitlam Heritage Society. It is proving once again to be the perfect place for warm sounds and inviting ambience. It seems that things haven’t changed so much in100 years as music remains to be one of the most popular leisure time activities. Today everyone is welcome to visit the Mackin House parlour and on coffee house nights you can hear live music that fills the room once again!
