The house is currently closed for renovations. Learn about the prominent families who once lived in the Miyazaki heritage house. This elegant second empire-style home was built in the late 1800s for the Phair family. The Phairs owned a general store in Lillooet, and family members held various government positions, including Gold Commissioner and Coroner.
The next residents and then owners were the Miyazaki family. Doctor Miyazaki was respected and loved by the community. He was also a notable figure in Japanese Canadian History.
You can see Dr. Miyazaki’s office just as he left it, with museum artifacts, historic photos, and antiques. The gardens, original log cabin, and ruins of a root cellar. Local art, cultural, and community events are held at the house and grounds during the summer months.
Lillooet’s Historic Miyazaki House is currently not open to visitors due to renovations. Donations are gratefully accepted.
