Photograph of some sort of temporary house structure in the townsite. Area surrounding it is cleared ground, and some building material can be seen around. Unpaved Haisla Boulevard in front. Behind on the right is the Kitimat Public Saftey Building, and on the left a home from Osprey Street is visible. Cloudy day.
From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
