Daffodil House

I'm not sure of my architecture, but I believe this is Queen Anne style and it stands at the corner of Vancouver and Rockland.
UPDATE April 27....I found the house in the publication "This Old House, Vol 4" by the Victoria Heritage Foundation.  They devoted over a page to it, with pictures and a detailed history of its occupants.  As I suspected its architect was John Teague, the same man who designed the four remaining, similar houses on Vancouver St.  Here is a bit of what they say..."One of the most imposing versions of the Italianate townhouse in the city,...This house cost $6000 when built, making it one of the most lavish homes of the period."  Built 1875
