Summer Bungalow – Fish Lake - W.H. Squires – 1927

Likes Fish Lake So Builds House on Modern Lines

W.H. Squires, 539 Newport Avenue, Victoria, likes Fish Lake so much that he is having a summer bungalow, with all modern conveniences, erected there by Johnstone & Co., contractors, for whom James M. Wilson is doing the work. The house will cost in the neighborhood of $2000 and will have living-room 23x14 feet, two bedrooms and maid’s bedroom, with kitchen, bathroom, screened in sleeping porch, garage and smoke house. Kamloops Plumbing and Heating Co. has the plumbing contract and a pump will carry water from the lake. The house is near the hotel and has to be ready for occupancy by August 1.
