Photo request[edit]

Copied from Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Architecture. Tim Pierce (talk) 12:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For Alexander Duncan McRae I would like to find photos of Hycroft, the house he built at 1486 McRae Ave, Vancouver (like these ones) which should be easy enough for someone in Vancouver. Would also like one of Eaglecrest Lodge (like this one) at Qualicum Beach, British Columbia which burned down years ago. KenWalker | Talk 02:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
