Physical Description: 1 photograph : col. slide ; 35 mm

Scope and Content: Photograph of two men standing on the roof of the Lubbock barn and working on dismantling segments. Tall brambles surround the barn and out buildings. The barn was located at 7803 Burris Street near Burnaby Lake.

History: In 1977, Century Park Museum was granted access to the Sprott-Lubbock farm to appraise the heritage buildings for preservation. Buildings that were saved included the old farrier shed (BV985.1240.2) which was also used as a blacksmith shop and the Vorce tram station building (BV985.1240.3) from the old Burnaby Lake Interurban line which was used as a grain storage shed on the property. Segments of the original farmhouse and other out buildings were retained. Other buildings on the site were demolished to make way for a new housing development.
