BO-48-2809 : Kitsilano Apartments
This is a really low altitude shot of some apartments in Vancouver from 1948. The intersection is the corner of Cornwall Avenue and Vine Street just south of Kitsilano Beach Park. Surprisingly, the area still looks pretty similar.
BO-46-267 : Pacific Coast Terminals
This is a somewhat higher altitude shot of the Pacific Coast Terminals in New Westminster from 1946. The terminals handled the import of general cargo such as apples, wood and refrigerated food.
BO-47-1450 : Victoria Downtown
This is a shot of downtown Victoria from 1947 looking south-east towards Fairfield. The Hudson Bay Company store can be seen just bottom-left of center. It also looks like there is a bit of a rail yard just off Chatham Street.
BO-52-331 : Pattison’s Estate
This is an image of North Vancouver which was labelled “Pattison’s Estate” from July 8, 1952. It shows a large estate near what is now 1st Street East and St. Davids Avenue. The entire area has now been converted to houses.
BO-50-75 : New Westminster Secondary School
This is New Westminster Secondary School from April 27, 1950. At that time, the school was called Vincent Massey Junior High. It is located at the corner of Eighth Avenue and 8th Street in New Westminster.
62-10 : Kamloops Flats
This image was titled “Kamloops Flats Indian Reserve”. It was taken May 16, 1962. After doing a bit of research I’m having a hard time confirming if this really was an Indian Reserve. Any information would be appreciated.
BO-47-1453 : Work Point Barracks, Esquimalt
These are the Work Point Barracks in Esquimalt, just outside Victoria, from 1947. Unfortunately the image is not the sharpest, but you get a great view of the Canadian Forces Base along with Imperial Oil and Esquimalt Harbour way off in the distance.

This is an overview of the northern part of Penticton from 1948.
