West Vancouver Historical Society I remember walking along the paths and watching frogs in the ponds in the overgrown garden in the '40 's and '50's and the fruit orchard in the northwest corner of the lot. These trees were ones where Ben had grafted pear branches onto apple stems (or vice versa). Each tree grew both fruits on different branches and the fruits all looked normal. However, the apples tasted somewhat like pears and the pears like apples. The photograph to the right shows Ben and his sons on the front staircase about 1924, with the newly planted orchard in the background. In addition to his gardening plans and the philanthropic efforts described in the earlier article, Ben served on the West Vancouver School Board and was head of the West Van United Church Sunday School for about 2 0 years until his death in 1936. Anna, shown at left about 1937 in the living room with some of Ben's import inventory, and below reading by the fireplace with her son Ernest, lived in the house until 1964, when she was forced to move to a Senior's facility. After her death in 1966, the house was sold out of the Harrison family When a new house was built on 2577 Kings, the owners of 2587 were forced to change the long, wide front staircase on the east side by diverting it from a landing toward Kings Avenue, as shown in 1988 in the photo to the left. Ben and Anna's elder son, Rupert, was a very active amateur photographer during the 1930 's and would later be West Vancouver's Municipal Clerk from 1938 to 1979 and its first Archivist from 1979 to 1998. After his death in 2007 I found, in the vast amount of material he saved at home, print and negatives from both his own work and that of his parents. The photographs in both this article and the previous one come from this material, which I am currently transferring to the West Vancouver Archives. page 5
