Four house front totem poles stand in a meridian, likely at the University of British Columbia. These were largely recovered from Ninstints in 1957. The building behind the poles on the viewer's left appears to be the War Memorial Gym, indicating that the photograph was likely taken on University Boulevard west of the intersection with Wesbrook Mall.
Totem pole standing in Totem Park at UBC, likley carved or moved here in 1951. Rod Paterson photographed the totem poles being moved from Totem Park to the Museum of Anthropology, and this photograph was likely taken during that event, in 1975.
