This unidentified man is standing on the circular driveway in front of Hatley Castle. Behind him, there is minimal landscaping, and no evidence of the Neptune steps, installed between 1912 and 1914 by Boston based landscape architects, Brett and Hall. Something has obscured the right side of the photographer's lens.

James Dunsmuir Jr. is on the far left in riding gear, Dola Dunsmuir is the child near the centre of the group. The gathering is likely a visit to the newly completed Hatley castle, designed by renowned British Columbia architect Samuel Maclure for James Dunsmuir. Using only the finest materials, builders, stonemasons and detail carpenters only took 18 months to construct the building from 1908 until 1910.
