Heritage Value: According to the 1911 December 26 edition of The British Columbian: Optimism is the word that applies to the whole community of East Burnaby. The many improvements carried out by the council during the past two years had been the means of making East Burnaby a thriving settlement, and hence one and all are optimistic as to its future. In the clearing and building line, many fine new homes are being erected...Real estate values have advanced with the times, and a notable feature is the number of better-class houses that are being built in this locality, which proves that East Burnaby is becoming very much alive and elevated.

Heritage Value: From The British Columbian, March 19, 1912: "On the fringe of New Westminster there is…a suburban townsite in Edmonds. During the past eighteen months it has grown and prospered quite phenomenally. It is ideally situated, is in easy communication with New Westminster by two car lines. Its climate is clear and bracing, being exceptionally free from the fogs that are more or less prevalent along the river section and gulf shore...Edmonds, in fact, is one of the finest residential parts of the province. This is fast becoming known and appreciated beyond its borders. Elegant and substantial residences are being erected in various parts, and stores are being put up in convenient localities. The new municipal building is one of the finest in British Columbia for so young a municipality."

Heritage Value: St. Albans Anglican Church is one of the landmarks of the historic Edmonds district, and has many ties to its neighbourhood history and prominent families of Burnaby. The site was purchased in June 1907 and presented to the congregation by Mr. Walter James Walker that August. Walker, a real estate developer and former Surrey Reeve, donated money for the construction of a number of Anglican churches, including three in North Surrey in 1910. Construction on St. Albans began in November 1908 by contractors Wright & Tucker, and was completed in March 1909. The first vicar was Rev. D. Dunlop, who was also the rector of St. Mary’s in Sapperton. Pre-eminent Vancouver architects Dalton & Eveleigh provided the design. William Dalton (1854-1931) and Sydney Eveleigh (1879-1947) formed their partnership circa 1902, and the firm was highly regarded for the high quality of its commercial and institutional buildings.

Scope and Content: Photograph of a house identified as belonging to Mr. Patterson. There is a discrepancy as to which Mr. Patterson the house belongs to. The accession register suggests the house is D.C. Patterson's house, while the inscription on the photograph suggests it is B. (Bruce) Patterson's. The house is two storeys tall, with a balcony on the second floor. There are long cloth blinds on the second floor windows, and two people on the balcony. One of them (identified as B. Patterson) is holding the lower cloth blinds. There is a foot path lined with rocks winding around the house. There is also a discrepancy as to where the house is located. The inscription suggests the house was at Patterson Avenue, while the catalogue record suggests that the house was in the Edmonds area. An annotation on the back of the photo reads: "B. Patterson's 1st house at Patterson Ave: holding lower cloth blinds."

George Davies went to work for Gilley Bros. Logging Co. in Burnaby.

In 1919 they adopted their second child, John Sheldon Jones whose birth parents had died of influenza.
