1960s
-- Redman's Red and White grocery store located at the north side
of Cowrie Street. For a short time in 1961 the building housed
Sechelt's first public library in the upstairs rooms. Joe Spangler
was the original owner and operated the Sechelt Service Store
until he sold the building to Jack and Lee Redman in 1946.
When
this photograph was taken, the Chain Saw Centre was located on
the ground floor and the upper storey was still in place; it was
later removed by the Chain Saw Centre owners. The building, although
modified and enlarged is still standing and occupied.
The
Redmans sold the building in 1963 and relocated their grocery
store to the south side of Cowrie Street where 'Shop Easy' grocery
store was until circa 2005.
