Scope and Content
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 and bowler hats riding bicycles and another man in suit and bowler hat standing on the sidewalk. The sun is casting long shadows from the left side of the photograph. An earlier catalogue record from 1988 conjectures that the photograph may be of Kingsway in Burnaby, possibly near Gilley looking east towards Griffiths Avenue. The record also dates the negative, ca. 1914.
