Caption: View looking south up Carrall Street, with the Old Maple Tree
Additional Description: This 1886 photo of the Maple Tree, courtesy of the City of Vancouver Archives, would seem to bear more than a passing resemblance to the image on the marker. Taken in June 1886, shortly after Vancouver was incorporated. Prior to incorporation, the area had formally been known as Granville, and also informally as "Gastown" (after the founder of the settlement, John "Gassy Jack" Deighton).
