6.7.135
circa
1920s-1938 -- A series of photographs of Harry Duncan Irvine,
his wife Jessica Irvine and their home on the east side of Sechelt
Inlet opposite the Lamb Islets (in present day Tuwanek). The Irvines
came to Sechelt circa 1912 from England and tented at Porpoise
Bay until they completed their home, "Heronsghyll" circa 1913-1914.
Their home and gardens were show pieces where summer visitors
could rent spotless cabins. The Irvines were virtually self-sufficient
with a water supply from Irvine Creek and generator for electricity
and a fruit and vegetable garden supplying much of their food.
They traveled to Sechelt by their motor driven boat for supplies
and mail. Mrs. Irvine canvassed for a road around the east side
of the Inlet and also presented an annual prize for 'best pupil'
at the Sechelt school prize giving days. Mr. Irvine died in 1941
and his wife in 1968, both are buried in St. Hilda's cemetery.
