Two other pieces of Marpole's heritage have recently garnered public support: in 1990 the city purchased the old Children's Hospital and began its restoration as a residence for seniors; five years later the city granted a 60-year lease to the Marpole Museum and Historical Society for the Colbourne House, a tiny, gambrel-roofed farmhouse at 8743 South West Marine Drive. In population, Marpole today is very close to the city average in the age and income of its residents but has more renters than the average.
