The photographer, Edwin Lester Brittain, was a native of New Brunswick. He arrived in Ottawa in the late 1880's where he built two summer homes in the area just east of what we know today as Britannia Beach. Following his marriage in 1899, Brittain also maintained a winter home on Gilmour Street. Brittain held a position in the upper-middle rank of the finance department, possibly the Government of Canada Department of Finance. Brittain and his wife, Sarah Louise Code, had four children : Code, Edith, Lester and Frances.
