Joseph Pigeon’s house

The two-storey ranch house above burned down, so the family had to move into a storage building while a new house was being built.
When Joseph retired, he left the ranch in the hands of Aure and his wife and moved to the Fraser Valley to open the Maple Leaf Hotel at Harrison Hot Springs. At Joseph’s death, Marie Anna, Ernest’s second wife, returned to claim her part of the ranch.
