Historical Context provided on backing of small print copy - see 2022.FIC.190 "Dewdney Trunk road was the main business street of the District of Coquitlam in the early 1900's. It ran through what was called Westminster Junction. This was named because of the Station and from this a spur line was made to New Westminster's main line. In the 1950's Dewdney Trunk road would be renamed Kingsway." Painted for and donated to Port Coquitlam Heritage Society in 2007.
