Early
places

And they want to hear
from people who can ex-
pand on what they already
know about the buildings
they’ve researched.

Oldest house. The Henry
and Mattie Frank residence
on Frank St. Built in 1908, it
remains on its original site.

Henry Frank was one of

the first homesteaders to

stake a pre-emption when

the government opened up

this part of the Skeena Val-
Icy in 1905.

Former showcase.
Original owners Charles and
Elizabeth Gilbert spent what
was then a fortune of $7,000
to build this place on what is
now 4806 Walsh in 1912.

The Gilberts had a skeet
shoot in the back field
which is now Loen Ave.

It is now owned by the
Deveic family and the
homes surrounding it were
built not that long ago as
previous owners sold off

=5 lots.

a Only one left. The B.C.
; Provincial Police was the
law and order agency in
Terrace and area until the
1950s.

Their first station was this
building on the comer of
Kalum and Lakelse, built in
1913.

There were only 100 built
like this in B.C. and this is
the only one of those 100
still standing.

School teacher’s house,
At 4602 Haugland sits a
home built by Frank Ross in
1916, He married Marjorie
Fairburn who was the sec-
ond school teacher 'in the
district.

The home was later owned
by Charlie Adams who
came from Stewart and ran
the theatre here in the early
days.

First car sale. The build-
ing now occupied by Kalum
Kabs at 449 Lakelse Ave.
was built in 1933 by the de
Kergommeaux family.

They came to Terrace
from France and there were
two sons and a daughier in
the family.

The sons, Bernard and .
John, managed the Shell sta-
tion at this spot for years.

The first car in the district
was sold to George Skinner
from this garage.

First schoo! house. It was
built in 1914 and now acts
as the school disirict’s
resource centre at 3211
Kenney.

The location is signficant
— halfway between the Ter-
race and Kitsumkalum so
the children of those who
settled on land at each loca-
tion had an equal distance to
walk to school,

years after Little arrived in what is now Ter-

race and area. He lived in it by himself until
he married Clara Beste in Seattle in 1912.
They later lived in a larger home on the cur-
rent location of the Coast Inn of the West.
That house is now at 2812 Hall! Street.
