Notes
Title based on contents of photograph
Newspaper clipping attached to verso of photograph reads: "The Burnaby house that stood in the way of a planned public parking lot for five years, tumbled to the ground within an hour today. A private demolition crew was at work before 8 a.m., tearing down the Cameron Street house expropriated from 59-year-old widow Lillian Mann (right) after a lengthy battle with the municipality of Burnaby. Apart from a stubborn hive of bees which remained to briefly plague the bulldozer operator, the demolition was carried out without a hitch. Mann has moved into a Burnaby townhouse with her daughter."
