Leighton P. Harrison, a guest at Sechelt's first hotel, took this,
the first in a series of photographs of the fire that destroyed
the hotel building on June 1, 1914. Herbert Whitaker had sold
his hotel and other properties in 1913 to the Canadian-European
(German) Investment Corporation Ltd. but later regained possession
of them after the 1914-1918 war.
