91原创 artist Brian Croft has created a permanent reminder of what the Timms home was in 1915 through a painting commissioned by the City of 91原创.

There is plenty that is shiny and new at the Timms Community Centre, but well-known 91原创 artist Brian Croft has provided the community with a permanent reminder of the facility鈥檚 history.

Croft, who is known for painting B.C.鈥檚 historic scenes, was commissioned by the City of 91原创 to paint the Timms family home circa 1915.

鈥淭he Timms played a huge role in the identity of 91原创 and had the biggest greenhouses in B.C. right here in 91原创 City,鈥 said Croft.

Before Croft creates any historic painting, he researches the building or iconic place to give an accurate depiction.

The piece he did for the Timms Centre is called 鈥楾imms House circa 1915鈥 and is a watercolour. It shows a large home, painted in red and white with a wrap-a-round verandah.
