Traffic jam caused by traffic lights at Red Bridge
Part of Squamish Valley Museum (Brightbill House) Photograph Collection
Traffic jam caused by traffic lights at Red Bridge (over Blind Channel) which had only 1 lane. Suspected to be in 1963.
The main structure of the Brackendale Store was built in 1916 by Hughie Mills to replace John Jackson's old store which burnt down the year before when a fire started in the upstairs pool hall. The site was originally bought from the Judd family as Lot 6 of their subdivision. During the new store's first year, the upstairs served as a temporary home to the Judd family after their own house burnt down.
Although the appearance of the original store is difficult to see in the store's present form, the basic structure is still apparent when viewed from the back. Regardless of any alterations which have occurred, the Brackendale Store retains heritage value tot he community as a long standing local landmark which has continuously provided service to the community since its early days.

Clearing being done for new United Church, 1962
The church purchased two lots behind the building in 1962 to construct additions to meet the need of more room for their growing number of children in Sunday School.
This church (38014 Fourth Avenue) was built for the Presbyterian community in 1921. After several years of services held in the Anglican Church, the Presbyterian community raised this second church in Squamish.
Original use: Church.
Current use: Church.
Current condition: Well maintained, still in use as a church.
Located at the end of Second Avenue, 1961. This is the present site of the liquor store.

The name for the Woodfibre area (once a community but now solely the site of a pulp mill by the same name) was established in 1921 as the result of a contest. The previous was Mill Creek and had to be changed because there was another post office of the same name. The winner of the contest and $50 prize was Cathy Haar.
