It’s not too hard too spot old Cloverdale (although sometimes I admit, it is easy to drive past by without really noticing it). After settling into the area, I’ve become accustomed to seeing the Clova, the Boothroyd House (now Wired Monk), the Municipal Hall, Christ Church, just to name a few.
There are the properties that I pass by regularly that have piqued my curiosity: the tree-clad drumlin south of highway ten that hosts Mound Farm, the Alexander Etsell Connolly House off 168th that’s been clad in plastic for more than a year now, and just up the street, this listed house at 88th and 168th that may be the oldest in Surrey (going for 4.9Mil). I’m sure there are some great stories associated with these.
Then, there are the properties that have disappeared. Like the Charles Bell House below. I wonder if something will be rebuilt in its place?
Check out this Flickr photo set of Surrey Heritage sites by Bob_2006 that does a great job of documenting heritage locations all over Surrey. There’s quite a bit I haven’t noticed, including an old red cedar tree stump on Queen Mary Boulevard.
