Does anyone have information about maintenance options for a century old (1901) wrap around verandas ?
This veranda is on a Heritage home in Esquimalt, now a condo complex. There is some wood rot on the perimeter lower stairs but the veranda is in amazingly good shape.
Comments welcome.
Hello
I am wondering if it is possible to but a copy/file of one of the old photos to be able to make poster size one for myself
As I grew up on Commercial Dr on the 60s & 70s the photo numbered
VPL11967 brings a fond memory as I lived next door as a child and still go down to the drive occasionally it would make a great addition and a fantastic piece to have on my wall
Sorry for the delay in response. The image you mention is VPL 11967 from the collection held by Vancouver Central Library. To make a decent poster, you will probably need a high res version of the image. Their website offers methods for obtaining the image you need.
