- Scope and Content
- Photograph of the interior of the Dow, Fraser & Co. Real Estate Office and Hiill and Burnett Surveyor's Offce building inside of Heritage Village. The interior is furnished with an arrangement of artifacts including a pot belly stove; a Remington typewriter; a roll top desk and chair; a large safe; a union jack flag and a map and survey plan on the walls.
- History
- The building was originally located at 3043 (pre-1958) / 6108 Patterson Avenue, Lot 22, Block 33, District Lot 151, Plan 2002. It was built ca. 1929, possibly by Mr. Cuthbert Pratt. Over the years it was used as a confectionary store, grocery store, home, and small boarding house. By 1977, it was operating as the Magee Grocery Store. The building was moved to BVM in May 1977 and then adapted to look like the original Dow, Fraser & Co. Ltd. real estate building.
