Popis
**Ross Bay Villa Society** is a Canadian registered charitable organization (Registration No. 832843734RR0001) dedicated to preserving and operating the **Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum** in Victoria, British Columbia. The society owns and maintains the 1865 heritage home, originally built for Frances Roscoe, a former Member of Parliament, and his family[5]. The property survived a demolition threat in 1999 when heritage advocates intervened, leading to its eventual transfer to the society after fundraising efforts secured its mortgage[5].

The society, entirely volunteer-run, focuses on conserving and restoring the house to its 1860s appearance through scholarly research and meticulous preservation[5][3]. Activities include guided tours, historical lectures, and educational programs highlighting the local area's heritage[4]. A key initiative is the **Vintage Emporium**, an outdoor event featuring vintage and antique vendors, with proceeds supporting restoration efforts[1].

Funding relies on donations, memberships, and revenue from events and the on-site gift shop[3]. Membership benefits include free tours and discounts, with annual fees contributing directly to conservation[3]. The property, open to the public on Saturdays, is recognized for its architectural significance and role in illustrating Victoria's 19th-century domestic life[5][4].
