British Columbia House is a Grade II listed building at 1 and 3, Regent Street, Westminster, London.[1]
Designed by architect Alfred Burr,[1] British Columbia House was constructed in 1914 as the premises of the Agent-General of the Province of British Columbia,[2] a position then held by John Herbert Turner.[3] At the time of the building's official opening, in 1915, Turner had been replaced by Richard McBride, but McBride's death, in 1917, saw Turner return to the Agent-General's role.[4]
The building is owned by the Crown Estate and is now a commercial building.[2] It underwent a £8.5 million refurbishment in 2013.[2]
