Early stages of Cottages 2 and 3

This image was in the Riverview Heritage Society collection, and used in the Coquitlam 100 years book, some of the pictures of which are now online HERE.

     The foundation is being dug for Cottage 3 in this photo dated 28 June 1920, and the foundation and half brick wall of Cottage 2 is visible in the far left. Note the light rail being used to move the excavated materials, probably be human, and horse power, also note that the area was previously being used for farming, the line of short trees in the upper middle to right are probably defining where Davidson Creek is.
