Gunn House

Tsawwassen

Gunn House dates from the 1880s, built as a family residence amid farmland south of Vancouver...every summer they sell vegetables grown here..changes are happening though, and all the land around the house was being drastically altered by earth moving equipment as I walked a very muddy path to the vantage point...several workers were clearing a garden area, so perhaps some fresh veggies will be available again this year

The many thoughtful comments have perfectly described this excellent capture. What really draws me to this image is the feeling of tranquility and personality of this house. It seems so comfortable and speaks of times long past. VV

Love the mixture of old and modern- old house with a new satellite dish.

Well composed image of this old house. It has so much character.

What a great old home. Love the details on the roof line. It would be hard to see the beauty of the house in the summertime when that big old tree is full of leaves!

Very nice spacious wooden house, I like the finely chiseled top of the roof! V

a lovely old house. Hope the changes don´t affect the house and its surrounding.This would be so sad.V.

I imagine a large family with at least 8 kids living here, tending a large garden back in the day. May the veggies grow again!

Great perspective to capture this fine home. I hope the equipment is for veggies and not a parking lot. V

A very good photograph of this handsome house. You have done it justice. V

Looks to be a charming house, and a good POV from which to capture it. I wonder why, though, they would need earth moving equipment to drastically alter the land if all they're going to do is grow produce.

A charming home; it looks like much care has been given to it. Lovely subtle colors. V

Love old houses; this fine frame house looks like it could be an Ottawa Valley farmhouse. LIke fotabug, I was worried you were going to say the D-word! A very fine shot. V

Whew, at first I thought you were going to say that they were developing the land for a subdivision. How sad that would be!
