The Hycroft Manor is a magnificent Edwardian Mansion in Shaughnessy. It was originally built for Alexander Duncan McRae, a leading politician and businessman in Western Canada at the turn of the twentieth century. The Hycroft had a reputation as an elite party house of Vancouver, where all the who's who of the 20s and 30s gathered, and it was considered an honour and a delight to be invited. The McRae Family gave Hycroft to the Federal Government for one dollar in 1942. The Federal Department of Veterans' Affairs used it as a convalescent hospital for war veterans. Since 1960, it was acquired and restored by The University Women's Club of Vancouver.

The Hycroft is located at the corner of 16th and Granville in the South Granville area of Vancouver, BC. Free parking is available on The Crescent or nearby streets.
