1915 -- Government Road (later Highway 101) at Selma Park.

Ken Walton, the child on the left, wrote that "the picture is of my grandfather, Edwin F. Walton and me packing water between the well (which was near the old tennis courts) and Uncle George's house." "Uncle George" was George Walton of the firm Johnson, Walton Steamships Ltd. of Vancouver. The Walton family lived in Vancouver and summered at Selma Park for many years. Note the telegraph line and pole on the inshore of the road.
