Photograph shows Burnaby pioneer George Searby Buxton standing in front of a cabin. George Buxton was born in England and was a carpenter by trade. He and his wife Mary Isabel (nee Nattriss) moved to Canada between 1911 and 1913 and had five children: Clara Violet (1910-1913), Mary (1900-?), Alice Clarissa (Clissie) (1902-?), Bernard (1897-1972) and Leopold (1893-1951).
In 1911, George built the Buxton family home on what is now Buxton Street in Burnaby. The Buxton house remains a heritage landmark to this day. This cabin may have been his residence during the period of construction on the house.
