Haney House Upstairs Hallway
The paintings were done by Mrs. Hadgkiss, and purchased by Elizabeth Mary Hawley (nee Haney) for Mary Isaac's (nee Hawley) birthday. The "Moss Rose" grows outside, and it is over 100 years old. The basketry on display was sold to Anne Haney by Coast Salish women who sold them door to door. Some of the shapes and motifs suggest that they were made with European tastes in mind, such as the tray which features a Christian symbol that was copied from early sailing vessels.
The painting of lower Port Haney - River Road is from a 1930 photo, and the painting of Ontario Street was done for the Celebration of a Century in 1974. The boy shown is Dr. Hugh Morse as a child. His father, Dr. Garnet Morse was the first Doctor in Maple Ridge, and arrived in 1912. Son Hugh was a WWII flying ace who became a dentist after the war with a practice in Haney.
A map of the town site, which was laid out by Thomas Haney, was drawn up in 1907.
