Westminster Ave, now Main Street. 432 Main Street. Lot 7, Blk 11, D.L.196. The upper floor was, originally, the first Baptist Church in Vancouver. When the new church was built at Hamilton and Dunsmuir, the building was moved forward from back of lot to street line, then raised and this hardware store built under it. The door on right leads to a hall upstairs where the original platform at one end remained. In 1906 the store was occupied by the hardware firm of Lewis & Sills. It was demolished about 1940. Wood blank sidewalk dirt road; bushes on vacant lot. The rider of pony is doing a queer advertising performance by hanging whips, brushes, tinware, birdcage and tools all over himself & horse.
