A farmhouse in Delta, with Mount Baker in the distance.
According to Delta's Rural Heritage, by Donald Luxton and Associates,
this is the Asbury/Erskine house. It is at 4769 112th Street in Delta, and
was built about 1907. There is also a fine barn, the subject of another
watercolour that will be posted here soon. It was built for William Asbury
Sr., who had emigrated from Cheshire in 1887 and died soon after this house's
completion. It is just down the road from the historically very significant
home of Premier John Oliver, called "Bayside," at 4844.
