Local residents recently erected a tribute to a sycamore tree that came down when the old Massey house on 47A Avenue in Ladner was demolished. While the house was not on the municipal heritage registry, it did hold historical significance for many locals. The house was built in the early 1920s and George Massey moved his young family there in 1942. The tree, which was 113 years old and had been there longer than the house, came down as site preparation began for a new development.
