- George Searby Buxton (1867-1955), an English-born carpenter, built this Arts and Crafts dwelling and resided here with his wife and local teacher Mary Isabel Buxton (née Nattriss, 1865-1941). George and Mary are both buried in the picturesque St. Helen’s Anglican Church cemetery in Surrey. The house retains this style’s characteristic elements such as half-timbering, an oriel window and turned verandah supports, as well as its distinctive windows, which are casements in the lower portion of the frame and a fixed multi-paned sash in the upper. The original siding has been covered with a later coat of stucco. The house survives in well-maintained condition.

- Although still largely a rural area during the 1920s, subdivisions began appearing in the Central Park neighbourhood at this time. Development was slowed by the Great Depression of the 1930s but the influx of commercial buildings and new housing initiatives in the post-war boom led to a period of rapid growth especially in the Garden Village subdivision which was undertaken in 1953 with the plan to build 500 modern homes in the 140-acre site. Despite the closure of the interurban line in 1953, the neighbourhood remained an active commercial and residential centre.

- Central Park was one of the first and fastest-growing communities in Burnaby. Located along the electric tram line and the Vancouver Road (Kingsway), it was also chosen for a government settlement project referred to as the Central Park Small Holdings. The lands held by the Provincial Government were subdivided and sold around 1894 and by 1899 the settlement was large enough to warrant the construction of an Anglican Church there.

- In 1906, Maxwell Smith, President of the Central Park Farmer's Institute gave a speech in which he commented on the growth of this district and its ideal location during the boom years after 1905. He said: "Central Park is destined to become the epicentre of a great commercial metropolis, when Vancouver and New Westminster will have both expanded and prospered until they meet and fill up the intervening distances with residences of a new city, greater than few can now imagine, even in their wildest flights of fancy...we are proud of the two cities that lie on either side of us but they are, but mere hamlets compared with the great city that is to be on this peninsula. The time is coming when there will be one vast city, one commercial metropolis, and Central Park will be the heart of it."

- Bounded by Moscrop Street to the north, Kingsway and Grange to the south, Willingdon to the east and Boundary Road to the west, the Garden Village Neighbourhood is characterised as a primarily residential area that is well-served due to its proximity to commercial, park and business centres. The north-east corner of the neighbourhood is a typical 1950s subdivision of mostly single family homes located on an irregular street pattern, while the remaining areas saw some transition to multi-family housing types throughout the 1970s and up to the current time.

Treatments are given for over a hundred ailments, ranging from abscess through appendicitis, colitis, diabetes, glaucoma, gonorrhoea, haemmorrhoids, impotence, laryngitis, mumps, pyorrhea, tuberculosis, ulcers, wrinkles and even writer’s cramp. Electrical medical devices like this one were popular for decades among physicians, irregular practitioners, and home users, who could purchase them through catalogs and drugstores. The machine plugs into an electrical wall outlet. A glass electrode plugs into the wand, produces a violet glow, and delivers a spark when touched to the skin. The strength of the spark, controlled by the voltage selector, ranges from mild to quite intense. Attachments could stimulate many body parts.

- BV991.45.66
- Description
- A brass and steel controller used for opening and closing cell doors at Oakalla Prison. The top is composed of a brass plate and is round in shape. A brass handle is present in the center of the plate and rotates to aim a pointer at any of numbers 1 to 9 and the letter A at the beginning of the numbers. The handle is spring loaded and can rotate whenever it is pushed down releasing it from a pin. Under this brass plate are two steel gears held within a steel frame all of which are held together with locking nuts. Markings on the top of the brass plate: "A" and the numbers in consecutive order from "1" to "9" . The numbers 7, 8 and 9 have been stamped in and appear to have been added later whereas the numbers "1" to "6" are present in raised format. The number "7" appears twice likely since the handle only locks at that point in between the two "7s" Markings on the small gear: "KANA" "NK 40B 15".

- Description
- Dress, c.1920. Purple silk satin with lace applique on sleeves. High collar with bow, buttons centre front, slightly flared ankle length skirt. Bias side panels on skirt. This dress seems characteristic of an item that would appeal to its particular owner. Born in 1880, she is following 1920s trends somewhat with the straight cut and bias skirt inserts, but also staying true to the fashion of her youth that she is comfortable with: a high collar, longer skirt, scarf, and lace applique are all borrowed from her time in the belle epoque. Extending from the stand collar are two long ties that could be tied into a bow or square knot. Directly under this at centre front is the opening with thirteen self fabric covered buttons. There is a bust dart on each side front, and a welt pocket on each side front just above the hips. At a dropped waist, there is a somewhat flared gore on each side of the skirt that extends from side front to back. The skirt extends to just above the ankles, with a small double fold hem. Inside, the dress is unlined; its seams are finished with a whip stitch. The garment was likely made by its owner.
- Object History
- Object was inherited by the donor ca. 1974. She was given it by her mother, who had inherited it from her own mother, Elizabeth (Babb) Heaney.

- Description
- Dress, c.1914-1918. White cotton pique. Calf length, three quarter length sleeves, buttons down centre front and up to neckline, waistband and cuffs. The tight collar is edged with a scalloped trim; the right side of the collar extends diagonally to the right, making a slight V neck, and turns down the centre front. The trim follows the line to the waistband. At each shoulder just before the sleeve, there is a pleat that opens up. On the front at the waistband, there is some gathering in the waistband, and some small pleats at centre back. On the bodice front right, there is a small pocket that ends in a triangle shape and is topped with scalloped edging. The sleeves are plain set-in, with fairly wide cuffs that turn up and are left open at the side. Down the whole centre front there is an opening. Each side has holes, but no buttons remain: on the right, regular button holes and on the left, small bound holes. The waistband is a two inch strip. Attached is the skirt in six slightly flared gores.
