cliff" station. That station and platform were located almost due east of present-day Gleneagles School. And, since that was the end of the line, provision had to be made for the motorized passenger coaches, and the occasional box car, to be turned around for the return trip to North Vancouver. This was ac- complished by constructing a wye in a short spur cut into the bank on the alignment of Raleigh Street at a point immediately (Under the overpass which, to-day,connects Marine Drive with the Upper Levels Highway. Realizing that railway access to the ranch from North Vancou- ver would be a distinct improvement over water access Mr. Lar- son was prepared to acceed to the railway company's request . for a right-of-way through his land. It is not known whether compensation for the 11.37 acres of land involved was asked for or given but as a condition Mr. Larson stipulated that a stopping point and station be provided for the ranch even though Whytecliff station and terminus was barely a half mile further on. But the condition was met and a station shelter and platform, of the same type and size as for all other stops along the way was erected. Appropriately enough the name of "Larsons" was assigned to it. It was located on the west side of the tracks directly opposite the driveway which, to-day, is the entrance to Gleneagles Golf Course. With advent of the station at Larsons it became more conven- ient for the Larson family and their friends to visit the ranch and for its products such as fruit, vegetables and eggs to be shipped back to stock the kitchens for the dining room at the family residential hotel in lower Lonsdale and at Canyon View in the upper Capilano valley. It also made it possible for lumber and other supplies to be delivered to the ranch site. And so, shortly after completion of the railway line to Whyte- cliff in 1914, a good size house was built at the ranch on the bench just below the upper plateau which overlooks the bay. Initially it consisted of a large living room, kitchen and two bedrooms. There was also a covered porch across the front of the house and a large wooden-decked patio in front of that.
