Scope and Content: Christmas card to the Adolf family featuring a photograph of the Mawhinney family home at 908 Burris Avenue (later 6011 Buckingham). The home is pictured at the end of a long driveway. House number "908" is nailed to a tree. Large evergreens line one side of the driveway. There are lot of leaves on the ground but still some leaves on the trees.

History: Local farmers William Alexander Mawhinney (1870-1953) and Annie Josephine Mawhinney (née Sutcliff, 1871-1956) built this residence as their retirement home. It was the last of several houses built in the immediate vicinity by members of the Mawhinney family between 1909 and 1930. Born in Ireland, William Mawhinney first came to Burnaby to help his brother Isaiah establish his fruit farm. Due to his farm management experience, in 1908 William became foreman of the Avalon estate at Deer Lake that was owned by F.J. Hart. When he retired in 1930, William had fifty years of experience as a fruit and grain farmer.This house is situated on its lot at an angle, rather than parallel to the street, to take advantage of the view of wooded Buckingham Creek that runs through the northeast section of the property.
