late
1960s early 1970s -- North side of Cowrie Street between Inlet
and Trail Avenues.
A
house located behind the picket fence (not visible in the photograph)
was built by telegraph operator George Wood and his wife Edythe
after the old house "Brackenwood Cottage" burned down. Standing
in the gateway is Jacques Whaites who with his wife operated "Jacques
Antiques and Souvenir Boutique." Today "The Dock" retail and office
buildings occupy the site. The house to the immediate right of
the fence was Dolly Dunn's home but today Real Estate offices
replace the original house. The building on the far right was
built by Vern Richter.
