“The Cooper House is a prominent landmark at the corner of Castleman and Chapman Roads. Harry Cooper was born in 1870 in Ontario, and came to Chilliwack in 1904. His wife Sarah Davis, was born in Muskoka, Ontario, and moved here with her family in 1889. The Coopers operated a dairy farm on this property from 1904; this imposing house was completed in 1919 by contractor Jack Martin. Harry Cooper died in 1939, and Sarah Cooper died in 1966.”
