She married the first Notary Public in BC and they built Killarney Manor on Cornwall Avenue.The neighbourhood has shops, restaurants, public transportation and a variety of homes. It is popular with the UBC crowd, as it has easy access to the university. In the ’60s it was the home of the hippies and in the ’80s it became the home of the yuppies. No hirise condos in Kits , only mid-rises.
