Description From Owner:

Kerrisdale - In 1905, when the BC Electric Railway put in a tram stop at what is now 41st Avenue in Vancouver, R.H. Sperling, general manager of the company, called on the young Scottish couple,
Mr. and Mrs. William MacKinnon, who had recently settled nearby, and invited Mrs. MacKinnon to name the new station.
She named it after Kerrysdale, her family's home in Gairloch, Scotland. The name of the station has become the name of this Vancouver district.
