The family lived in West Burnaby on Rupert St. from approximately 1920 to late 1930's. Robert worked replacing the roof on the Hotel Vancouver during the 1930's. Robert moved to Powell River to work in the 1940's but the family retained the house in Burnaby. The artifacts were made by Robert or purchased as gifts for Vera when she was about 5 / 6 years old.

- Object History
- The Woodward's Department Store was first established in Vancouver at the corner of Hastings and Abbott in 1903. For the next nine decades Woodward's was one of Vancouver's major department stores. It was well known for its Christmas displays and the neon “W” on the roof. Woodward's closed its Hastings Street store in 1993. Woodward's was designated a heritage building in November 1996 and the site is currently under development for condominiums. (From the City of Vancouver website, 2008).
