This street was a small commercial district that served residents located along the streetcar line between New Westminster and Edmonds.

This building remains as one of South Burnaby's few surviving early commercial buildings and features a "false front" and recessed main entrance. The building was later sold to Maurice and Mildred Whitechurch, who ran it for many years as a hardware store named Whitechurch Hardware Store. In 1974 the building was moved to the Burnaby Village Museum.

Object History: The Bell's Dry Goods building was built in 1922 by Clifford Tuckey with a small lean to structure on the back housing a kitchen and bedroom. The building was located on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Thirteenth Avenue in Burnaby. William Bell (1884-1952) and Flora Bell (nee Connell) (1889-1953) immigrated to Burnaby from Scotland between 1917 and 1918. In about 1924, the building was purchased by William and Flora Bell. Flora operated "Bell's Dry Goods" store out of the building and the couple lived at the back of the store. William worked as a driver for a local lumber mill. Bell's Dry Goods was in operation in this one storey building between 1925 and 1937 with the building address, 1314 Sixth Street (later 7695 Sixth Street). In 1927, they moved to a house located on Thirteenth Avenue while they converted the back of the store to include the East Burnaby Post Office. In 1937, the Bells moved the one storey "Bell's Dry Goods" building a little further north and built a two storey building on the corner. Flora continued to operate Bell's Dry Goods on the ground level of the new building until 1941 and the couple lived upstairs. The new two storey building assumed the address of 1314 Sixth Street (later 7695 Sixth Street) and the older one storey building obtained a new address of 1316 Sixth Street (later 7685 Sixth Street). The East Burnaby Post Office continued to operate at 1314 Sixth Street until about 1954. On December 1, 1937, Maurice Whitechurch moved his Whitechurch Hardware store into the one storey building which he rented out from the Bells. In 1943, Maurice Whitechurch purchased the building from the Bells and Whitechurch Hardware store continued to operated at this location until the Spring of 1973. In June 1973, Mr. Fergie Will bought the store and the building was donated to Heritage Village (Burnaby Village Museum). In August 1974, the building was relocated to Heritage Village and opened as a carpentry shop exhibit in 1975. The building underwent several repairs and restorations over the years. After it was moved to Heritage Village, a lean to was built on the back of the building by museum staff. The lean to was demolished between 1993 and 1994 after the building was put on a new foundation. In 1995, it underwent a series of structural repairs to restore it to Bell's Dry Goods store, opening on August 6, 1996.

Description: Home made skis made by William Parker. The original leather bindings are mostly gone, only one broken, dark coloured leather strap remains.

Object History: The skis were found in the Jesse Love farmhouse when moved to the Museum. The skis were hand made by Bill Parker, grandson of Jesse Love and son of Sarah Parker (Love) and William Parker. He made them while living in the Love farmhouse as a young man. He often did woodworking in the kitchen, after the bath tub was moved upstairs and before the kitchen was remodeled. When he was older his woodwork projects were done in the wood working shed outside. The skis were originally flat, but he found they did not work well. After observing people on store bought skis, he tried to steam the wood and weigh down the ends to get the tips of the skis to curve. He use the skis to around the yard and down the hill of Cumberland St. Bill later used the skis as a young adult while courting his wife. The skis were stored in the house and forgotten.; A pair of skis in one corner of the farmhouse kitchen are visible in photographs of the kitchen taken in the early 1970.
