Four house front totem poles stand in a meridian, likely at the University of British Columbia. These were largely recovered from Ninstints in 1957. A diving board in the background, as well as the buildings, suggest the photograph was taken on University Boulevard, west of the intersection with Wesbrook Mall.

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.

Aerial view of Haida House after construction and carvings were complete. The date of the annotation must be incorrect as the double mortuary pole and the house front totem pole were not completed until 1962.

Image of a pole carved as the frontal pole for the front of the Haida house at UBC, for display in Totem Park. Moved to the new Museum of Anthropology grounds in 1978. Pole was removed from the Haida House in 2000-09 and placed in a greenhouse tent for conservation treatment and drying. A new pole was raised outside to replace it (see MOA object Nb1.752). Jim Hart, with Reg Davidson, Michael Nicoll and Tyler Crosby, performed a small informal ceremony for the re-raising of the pole on Oct. 30, 2002 (with Martine Reid in attendance). Pole was then re-raised in the Great Hall of the Museum on Oct. 31, 2002.
