Clipping is from the front page of the Victoria Daily Times, June 7, 1920, the day after James Dunsmuir died.
This whole page from the photo album shows three images. The centre image, a forest road, is possibly at Hatley Park.
The upper Japanese garden at Hatley Park was designed by Japanese landscape architect Isaburo Kishida. The garden was installed in 1909 and developed by Tadashi Noda from 1913-1927. The fishing bridge is one of the developments installed by Tadashi Noda.
The Hatley Park estate was developed from 1912-1914 by Boston based landscape architects, Brett and Hall. This included addition of a new entrance on Sooke Road that would bring the visitor down a winding, serpentine road to the main house. An extensive network of roads and trails were added to the estate. In 1913, Hermann Eng was hired as head gardener. He and his wife Theresa lived in the Sooke Road gatehouse for almost 20 years.
The greenhouse and conservatory were constructed and installed by the Lord and Burnham Company as part of the estate development by Brett and Hall between 1912 and 1914. The glass house complex had a full time manager and required 60 tons of coal and 200 cords of wood per year to heat. The ornate conservatory pictured had a central dome of about 30 ft square, with two side galleries, each 60 ft long. Flowers were grown inside that were intended for display in the castle and in later years it was also used for food production.
