The Roberts Creek home of one of B.C.'s most venerable authors, Hubert Evans, is up for sale. Evans and his wife built the place in 1926. Robert Bakewell of San Fransciso reports that his father, Ernest Bakewell (1898-1983) met Hubert Evans during the early 1930s, and soon afterward quit his managerial position at the mill in Ocean Falls to run for the BC legislature in 1933. He was elected under the banner of the newly founded CCF for the former provincial coastal electoral district of Mackenzie. Hubert Evans shared Bakewell's political sympathies and they became close friends. Bakewell's eldest son, David, married one of Hubert Evan's two daughters, Elizabeth. The property has remained in the Bakewell/Evans family ever since Evans homesteaded there, having come to the "new front line"; of B.C. in response to his services in the trenches of World War One.
