The Timms house was built by George Young Timms and wife Harriet in 1911. The couple lived there with their seven children. The Timms Market Garden was to the south of the house. The Timms Box Factory was added in about 1918. When the Timms sold (in 1925), the new family, the Williams, ran the Market Garden. It was later known as the Langley Greenhouses. In 1956, plans were underway to demolish the Timms house to make room for the new city hall. The greenhouses stood where Langley Lodge and Langley Mall now stands (2005).
