The Columbia Grain Elevator stands partially demolished in October, 1972.  Revealed as a vertical shed. Note inlet and the mountain backdrop. This slide we read has been kept in frozen storage conditions. (CVA)

Mr. Higgins and companion sit in view for historical reasons. Somewhere on Lasqueti Island the sun in the decade of the 1920's was pleasing. She is at least half his age, kneeling no seat. Tongue and groove decking, dog sweats tongue. (VPL)

Decades pass only now this shed is clad in yellow cedar reverse board and batten. No tongue only groove as gestured and pointed.
