Stnhs1a.jpg‎ (640 × 449 pixel, file size: 197 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

This image is of Seton House, an old railway hostelry at Shalalth run by one Ma Struthers. The rail line is immediately behind the house, while the porch and docks seen here face towards the lake-reflection phenomenon known as the Totem Pole, which has now been erased by the presence of a large hydroelectric plant on the point forming the reflection, which is also the site of the hydro townsite; and was also obliterated by raised lake levels since the Bridge River Power Project's completion in the 1950s.

In addition to travellers to and from the mines, which was the mainstay of economic life in boom-era Shalalth, Seton House was also a favourite among the many railway lodges up and down the Pacific Great Eastern because of its view, good cooking, quiet life, and the benign climate of the Seton Valley.

This image was taken by a Mr. Boucher in 1946 and so is in the public domain under Canadian copyright law.

This Canadian work is in the public domain in Canada because its copyright has expired for one of the following reasons:

1. it was subject to Crown copyright and was first published more than 50 years ago, or

it was not subject to Crown copyright, and

2. it is a photograph that was created before January 1, 1949, or

3. the creator died more than 50 years ago.

The media description page should identify which reason applies, and should also have a rationale explaining the copyright status of the work in the U.S. Some Canadian photographs created before 1949 may be copyrighted outside of Canada, such as e.g. the images of Yousuf Karsh.
