Physical Description: 1 photograph : b&w ; 9.8 x 14.0 cm, mounted on cardboard 13.2 x 18.8 cm

Scope and Content: Photograph of the exterior of a store on the ground floor of a two-storey building, with a sign painted on the front face of the second floor. It reads, "A. MacKenzie & Co / Jubilee Store." There are two men in suits standing out in front of the display windows that show stacks of boxes and cans. The lot around the building looks vacant, but fenced. There is a wagon drawn by a team of two horses parked or travelling towards the store on the right side of the photograph. The store was owned by Alexander MacKenzie, (1870-1949) who arrived in Vancouver in 1907. There is a discrepancy in the date of the photograph; the accession register dates the photograph 1909 while the donation form signed by the donor dates all the photographs in the accession as 1907 or 1908. Annotations on the bottom front of the card mount read: "Ralph Libby" and "Vancouver B.C." This store later became the Matheson and Sons Market.

Scope and Content: Photographic postcard of a car driving across the railway crossing in front of the Edmonds Block at Edmonds and Kingsway. The building on this block housed a store, a doctor's office, and a post office. Visible in this picture are the interurban tracks and Dr. Watson's apartment. The postcard bears a postmark dated October 19, 1911 and a note written by Dr. Watson to a Miss Watson, of Cheshire, England. The note reads: "This is a picture of our block. We occupy the rooms on the left side of the first floor including the end one facing which is one of the windows in my waiting room. The entrance is seen to the right. The photo has been taken from Edmonds Station. Both car lines run into New Westminster, that on the right is the most direct one. The one on the left goes round via East Burnaby and at present its terminus is below our window. Your letter of the 14th [illegible] will answer more fully soon. We are well. So sorry to hear of that terrible motor accident. Yours, G."
