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.

This photograph shows the west of the Red and White Store building with the stairs leading up to the location of Sechelt's first public library.

The upper storey was later removed by then owners, the Chain Saw Centre. 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.
