Photograph of the Mathers house in 1912. There is a family (perhaps the W.J. Mathers family) sitting on the stone-walled patio. Note the electric power pole to the right side of the photograph located close to the house. The house is now part of the Deer Lake Park Complex and is used for various artistic and cultural activities. According to a note prepared by Kathleen and Eileen Mather, the house otherwise known as "Altnadene" was built in 1911-1912 for Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Mathers of New Westminster by architect F.W. Macey who lived on Douglas Road. The house was occupied by the family from late-1912 until mid-1935. The original photographs have been taken by professional photographers.
