In 1877 Samuel G. Wilder organized the Wilder Steamship Company and initiated passenger and freight service between the Hawaiian Islands with a fleet of steamers. At that time, there were few navigational aids maintained by the Hawaiian Government, so the steamship company was forced to erect lighted beacons for the safety of its own vessels. One of these private aids was placed at Ma’alaea Bay in the 1880s and was an ordinary lantern, fitted with red glass and displayed from a post. When the Lighthouse Board assumed responsibility for navigational aids of the Territory of Hawai’i in 1904, it replaced the lantern with a lens lantern suspended from a twelve-foot post.
In 1903 an acre and a third of land was acquired by presidential proclamation on McGregor Point, just over a mile southwest of Ma’alaea Bay, and in 1906 a light was established on the point to replace the one at Ma’alaea Bay. This new light consisted of a lens lantern mounted atop a thirty-two-foot mast, with a small storage shed at its base. A one-story dwelling was constructed just northwest of the light for the keeper.
In the 1870s Daniel McGregor captained vessels involved in the Ko’olau trade. Ko’olau means windward side of an island, and the Ko’olau trade involved the delivery of supplies between windward landings by interisland vessels. On one stormy night, Captain McGregor was bound for the landing at Ma’alaea Bay but knew the turbulent seas would prevent his anchoring there. Determined to find an alternate landing for the night, Captain McGregor sent three men forward with lead lines to sound the water while he probed the rugged shoreline in the pouring rain for an adequate anchorage. Between two and three o-clock in the morning, when the winds suddenly diminished and the water became significantly shallower, the captain ordered the anchor dropped for the night. The next morning McGregor awoke to find that he had discovered an excellent cove, which, along with the protecting point, still bear his name.
The 1906 light at McGregor Point was replaced by a twenty-foot reinforced concrete pyramidal tower by 1915. The focal plane of this tower, which today shows a flashing green light, is seventy-two feet above sea level.

Biographical History: Edward (Eddie or Ned) McGregor (1899-2003) was born in Taroom, to Sarah Serrico. Edward had been removed from his family in 1904 and taken to the Deebing Creek Aboriginal school (later Purga), near Ipswich. The Superintendent of the Mission gave Edward his surname after the then Governor of Queensland. He volunteered at age 19 in September 1918 and after training at Rifle Range Camp, Enoggera he was assigned to the 8th Queensland Reinforcements and embarked for overseas 7 November 1918. News of the armistice reached them as they neared Auckland and the troops were recalled. McGregor who had been exempted from the 'Queensland Aboriginals Protection Act' chose to return to his position as a dairy hand with Malcom Dick at Purga, where he remained until the outbreak of the Second World War.
Young enough still to enlist, he volunteered in January 1942 and served primarily in Queensland with 1 Ammunition Company, and 1 Motor Transport Unit until embarking for New Guinea in October 1944 with 17 Australian Labour Company in the Aitape-Wewak campaign, 1944-1945. After his discharge, he gained employment on the RAAF Air Base, Amberley as a gardener, up until the time he retired in 1964. Edward McGregor was presented with the Premier of Queensland's Millennium Medal in 2000, as well as the 80th Anniversary of the Armistice Medal, which commemorated surviving WW1 veterans, he died in 2003.

4250 Marine Drive, Burnaby, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
Overlooking the rich farmland of the Fraser River floodplain, Glen-Lyon is an Edwardian era rural estate, with a tall, two and one-half storey plus basement wood-frame mansion, set in a pastoral and formal landscape with an associated barn and early log pond, located near a ravine and forested area adjacent to Marine Drive in South Burnaby.
Heritage Value:
Glen-Lyon is valued as an excellent example of a privately-owned Edwardian era country estate built at the turn of the nineteenth century. The property retains significant heritage features including the Edwardian era mansion with rustic Arts and Crafts features, and elements of a working agricultural landscape. The property was originally the Royal City Mills logging camp, and in 1900 was purchased by Duncan Campbell McGregor (1853-1929) and Margaret Jane McGregor (1875-1960), who named their estate Glen-Lyon after Duncan McGregor's birthplace in Perthshire, Scotland. The McGregors were active in municipal affairs and social activities, and played a significant role in the early development of Burnaby. Duncan McGregor served as a city councillor from 1909 to 1912 and was elected reeve of Burnaby in 1913. Margaret McGregor was instrumental in the formation and fundraising activities of the Victoria Order of Nurses in Burnaby.
Additionally, the site is historically significant for its association with early social welfare and correctional reform. The estate was sold in 1926 to an inter-denominational religious organization called the Home of the Friendless, which used it as their B.C. headquarters. The organization was charged with several cases of abuse and neglect in 1937, after which a Royal Commission was formed that led to new legislation to regulate and license all private welfare institutions. Glen-Lyon was sold to the provincial government, and was dedicated in 1939 by the Lt.-Gov. E.W. Hamber for use as the New Haven Borstal Home for Boys and Youthful Offenders (later renamed the New Haven Correction Centre). The Borstal movement originated in England in the late nineteenth century, as an alternative to sending young offenders and runaways to prisons by providing reformatories that focused on discipline and vocational skill. This site's role as the first North American institution devoted to the Borstal School philosophy was historic, and influenced corrections programs across Canada. The site retains significant features from its development in 1939 as the Borstal School, including a large gambrel-roofed barn designed by Chief Provincial Architect Henry Whittaker of the Department of Public Works that is the only remaining structure of its kind in Burnaby. Between 1941 and 1945 the mansion housed the Provincial School for the Deaf and Blind when the Borstal School was closed temporarily as a war measure during the Second World War.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of Glen-Lyon include its:
- location on a sloping site with expansive southern exposure, adjacent to Marine Drive
- residential form, scale and massing of the house as exemplified by its two and one-half storey height, above-ground basement and rectangular plan
- Arts and Crafts elements of the house such as its stone foundation, multi-gabled roof line with steep central hipped roof, symmetrical cross-gables, side shed dormers, bellcast upper walls sheathed in cedar shingles and lower walls sheathed in narrow clapboard
- original exterior features of the house such as the full width front verandah with square columns, central staircase on the southern elevation, original doors and stained glass windows; and the irregular fenestration such as double-hung 1-over-1 wooden-sash windows, bay windows, and projecting windows in the gable ends
- original interior features of the house such as the U-shaped main stair designed around two symmetrically placed Ionic columns, and interior trim on the main floor including boxed beams and fireplaces
- gambrel-roofed barn with roof vent with finial, sliding hay loft and access doors, small multi-pane windows, and lapped wooden siding
- associated landscape features such as the original garden plantings with some exotic and many native specimen trees; the original log pond and its concrete Marine Drive causeway and culvert; rockeries and a rose garden

DUNCAN AND MARGARET MCGREGOR ESTATE, “GLEN-LYON”
4250 Marine Drive
Overlooking Burnaby’s Big Bend district and the Fraser River floodplain, ‘Glen-Lyon’ is valued as an excellent example of an Edwardian era country estate built at the turn of the nineteenth century. The property retains significant heritage features including the Edwardian era mansion with rustic Arts and Crafts features built by Duncan McGregor, a Burnaby Councillor from 1909 to 1912, who was elected Reeve in 1913. The site also includes significant features from its development in 1939 as the Borstal School, including the large gambrel- roofed New Haven Barn designed by Chief Provincial Architect Henry Whittaker of the Department of Public Works, that is the only remaining structure of its kind in Burnaby.
In 2004 Council adopted a City initiated rezoning of the former provincially-owned New Haven Correctional Centre property to the CD Comprehensive Development District based on the New Haven Land Use Framework Plan. The plan was informed by an extensive public consultation process which reaffirmed the public’s desire and interest in ensuring the conservation of the site’s significant heritage resources. The rezoning plan adopted in 2006 includes the adaptive re-use of the protected heritage buildings includes conversion of the New Haven Barn structure for two residential units, and incorporation of four residential units, common amenity and meeting space, within the D.C. McGregor House. Public access, interpretation and enjoyment of the Heritage Precinct have been provided for through the provision of an east-west urban trail through the Heritage Precinct with integrated interpretative signs and plaques for the protected heritage buildings and landscapes.

This picture was taken almost two years ago (Nov 2003), when they were filmming some scenes from "Stay" in my neighborhood. I stopped by the set on my way home from work and snapped a picture with the very friendly Mr. McGregor, who held the door for residents of the building, chatted with fans, signed a 20-Euro note, and held someone's baby between shots.
I love the cool movie set lighting.
