When Fort Victoria was first established in the mid-nineteenth
century, eight pioneer families of Europe's upper class formed the
social elite of the modest colony. The self-named aristocracy of
this new land, these families shaped a world suited to their proper
tastes on the upper floors of the fort, and eventually, in
beautiful homes that imitated the height of fashion in Europe.
However, between their tea parties and balls, these particular
families greatly influenced the progress of the city of Victoria
and the province of British Columbia. In "Above Stairs," get to
know the the Douglases, the Pembertons, the Skinners, the Creases,
the O'Reillys, the Trutches, the Rithets and the Barnards. These
families made laws, surveyed land, founded businesses and set a
standard of social acceptability for all those living in Victoria
at the time. Like a kitchen hand sneaking up the servants' steps to
spy on the rich, discover the glamorous, complicated lives of
Victoria's social elite in "Above Stairs."
