Let's take a step back in time to 1912 and check out the Ellis family home located in Ladner Village at the northwest corner of Delta and Bridge streets, opposite municipal hall.
The house was occupied by the family from 1911 until 1919. The house was originally built in 1902 for a doctor, J.W. Woodley, who used it as his home and office.
A Doctor Morley moved into the house after the Ellis family in July of 1919.
Until it was demolished in 1949, to make way for the Ladner Hotel, the house would be occupied by a series of doctors who used it as a residence and office. It became known locally as the "Doctors' House".
The Ladner Hotel building was redeveloped a few years ago and is now occupied by a Telus business.
