An old image

This image is from New Westminster Archives, it is a quite early picture of the farm cottage with a large group of wannabe politicians standing in front.
Title: Conservative Convention visiting Colony Farm. - Nov 25, 1911
 New Westminster Archives ID 25053

Conservative Convention visiting Colony Farm, Mount [sic] Coquitlam. A large group of men, wearing hats and coats, in front of the Colony Farm building.
 Group contains Peter Peebles, grandfather of donor.


Interesting to me is the fact that Peter Peebles is in this photo, he was into real estate and actually owned a small portion of Colony Farm, before the government bought it from him.
