People/Subject

Lyttleton Block

The Lyttleton Block was completed in 1924 by local entrepreneur Thomas Lyttleton. It was Langley Prairie's first brick building. The government liquor store moved here a few years after the building was built, and other businesses to set up shop here include Duckworth's store, McBurnies Variety Store, Cliff Sims Ladies Shop, Macartney's Cash Grocery, and Sam Brown's barbershop and billiards. Although it has seen many changes over the years, the Lyttleton Block still stands at the southeast corner of 204th Street and Fraser Highway.
