Description of Work:
In 1978, the former building at this site, Gulf & Fraser Credit Union, was built with concrete relief panels by artist Leonhard Epp who sculpted images portraying the commercial fishery history of Steveston Village. The Steveston Flats Development Corporation has carefully restored and incorporated the Leonhard Epp reliefs into the new building design.
