J.T. Lake Hardware Store

J.T. Lake Hardware Store with Henry Judd's stage coaches parked outside.

J.T. Lake was from England and had a daughter named Helen. He bought the store from Armstrong and McKinnon. He would come to houses to take orders and return to deliver the supplies. He sold the store in 1918 to Roderick Mackenzie.

Built in 1913, Armstrong & MacCallum / J.T. Lake Hardware Store (38025 Cleveland Avenue) now shows the false front common to Western buildings in its day. The original lot is reported to have been purchased for the sum of $1500. This was considered terribly high at the time but typical of prices in the area during the brief period of real estate speculation which occurred with the announcement of the proposed construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway line to Pemberton. Constructed as the "Armstrong and MacCallum General Store", the building later served as the J.T. Lake Hardware Store for a number of years.

Original use: General Store, Hardware Store.
Current use: Dragon Inn Restaurant.
Current condition: False front, same as original, but the roof has been changed. Building is now joined to others on either side.

Judd residence, flood 1906

Judd residence looking into backyard during flood of 1906 (September 6).

The present form of Brackendale did not begin to take shape until the subdivision of the Judd property in 1910 into 20 large lots along the Government Road, including the original lot purchased for the Brackendale Store. The original Judd Home itself burnt to the ground in 1916 and was rebuilt as the structure which stands there today as the current home of Mrs Farquharson, one of Henry and Anne Judd's youngest daughters.

Henry Judd (or Harry, as he was also known) and his wife Anne were among that small group of settlers which included the Robertsons, the Raes, William Mashiter, E.B. Madill, George Magee, Tom Reid, and a few others who are now regarded as the Pioneers of the Squamish Valley.

Having made purchase by public lottery of a major piece of property covering much of what is Brackendale today, Henry Judd arrived in the Valley in 1889 to begin farming his land. Building his original home at the present site of the Brennan Home, Judd sold that house to his parents after marrying Barbara Anne Edwards, who had come to work at the Squamish Valley Hop Ranch. A new home was built by the young couple on the site of the present Judd House.
