A 16 year old Charles London arrived in BC from Ontario with his 17 year old brother William in 1877. Within 10 years they had established a 200 acre farm on the bank of the Fraser River and had started construction on this farm house. In addition they started a general store, a post office and built a wharf to receive supplies and ship their produce.

I'd love to visit this place! (Of course, it's a bit of a trek from the southern U.S.) It's interesting to read about how much people like the Londons accomplished in such a short time.
@eudora I've always been fascinated by history and I love visiting places like this. Stay tuned Diane, tomorrow I'll be featuring a couple of interior shots from the house.
