Album of views compiled by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company (C.P.R.) showing the construction of the new Operating Terminus and the development of the district of Coquitlam (now Port Coquitlam), British Columbia, Canada

1912-1914

Album PH1981:1286:001-036 and its component photographs by Richard Broadbridge were taken after 1911 when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (C.P.R.) decided to supplement the Vancouver terminus with a second terminus in Coquitlam. Eleven of the photographs are related to the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company, and many show structures under construction, including: five views of the freight yards, one of which also shows the Roundhouse; two views of the Roundhouse; two views of bridges; and one view each of the Terminal office and the construction camp. Also included are views of the district of Coquitlam's rapid development into the city of Port Coquitlam in 1913, including: four views of roads; three views of houses; two views of the First Division and one view of the Second Division; two views of a commerical building; two views of the Agricultural Hall; two views of the Provincial Government Farm (also known as the Colony Farm); two views of roads to housing developments; and one view each of the Old Business Center, the Provincial Asylum, the Pitt River Dyke, the Pitt River with Coquitlam in background, a hotel, a factory, and the original Indigenous village.
