- Scope and Content
- Photograph looking north along the Pole Line Road (later Sperling Avenue). To the far left is Deer Lake and at the top right is Burnaby Lake. The smoke and debris from land clearing is a result of logging operations being carried out by the Doran Brothers logging company, the Deer Lake Mill Company. Above Deer Lake, Douglas Road is visible with Claude Hill's Brookfield property (later 6501 Deer Lake Avenue) on the south side of the road and Bernard Hill's home on the north side (later 4990 Canada Way). Just northeast of Brookfield is the George Every-Clayton farm (amongst the trees) on what would later become the Henry and Grace Ceperley estate grounds known as Fairacres. The house in the centre of the picture is the Walker house (later 5255 Sperling Avenue). Mountains can be seen to the north.

- Photograph of a paved road lined with electric poles on both sides and a wood plank sidewalk on one side of the road. There are two men in suits on the left, in the distance. Also visible are houses to the right. An earlier catalogue record from 1988 conjectures that the photograph is a view of North Road near the modern day intersection of Lougheed Highway, looking south to New Westminster. The record also dates the negative, ca. 1914.
