- Caption from metadata for 535-2830-1: "Ruth Baldwin enjoys the view of Deer Lake from the lower level of the house designed for her and her husband by Arthur Erickson, an old school chum. The house is now owned by the City of Burnaby, which wants to give it a heritage designation."
- Caption from metadata for 535-2830-2: "Architect Arthur Erickson designed Baldwin House to complement its surroundings, on the southern shore of Deer Lake. But there were technical challenges, like supporting the house in the swampy soil."
- Caption from metadata for 535-2830-4: "The living room of Baldwin House is like a time capsule to the 1960's, with the original drapes and contemporary Scandanavian furniture that was in style at the time."

- Photograph of a large tree standing near the shore of Deer Lake. In the background, the estate built by Henry and Grace Ceperley, known as "Fairacres" can be seen. Also visible is the estate's water tower. The Ceperley's purchased the land to build Fairacres in 1909 and it quickly became the most opulent residences in all of Burnaby. In 1917, Grace died and and by 1922, her husband had decided to sell the home to a former Vancouver Mayor, Frederick Buscombe. In 1939, the Benedictines purchased the property and established a priory at the estate. A large gymnasium was added which was converted into the James Cowan Theatre when the City of Burnaby acquired the land. The old mansion was renovated and became the Burnaby Art Gallery.
