c1926-1928 or early 1930s -- The Boulevard, Sechelt.

The revenue cottage on the left was built by Herbert Whitaker, who died in 1925. His estate sold the eastern portion of Sechelt Village to the Union Steamship Company which erected the three identical cottages in the centre. It also constructed the concrete seawall on the cobble beach in the foreground. Storms subsequently destroyed the western portion of the breakwater.
