This was the original location of George Little's Homestead.

I have had requests for pictures of Army Barracks etc.
This shows them all except for the Drill Hall that burnt down,
BC Tel had on Birch Ave,

re #8 on photo above, with thanks!

"sorry forgot this bit of info - the army buildings on the east end of town
(where curling rink now is) were used as a school beginning in 1948.
It was named Riverside Elementary School and at least 2 of the 3 buildings
were in continual use until December 1966. 
The 1966 -67 classes started the New Year at E.T. Kenney School on Loen Avenue. 
 Riverside was opened for one more school year 1968-1969
 for the Grade 8 students of Terrace. 
There was no room at Skeena Secondary School and Caledonia Secondary
 had not yet been completed so the Gr 8 classes were housed at Riverside.
 That was the last year it was used as a public school.

  I am told that when the Catholic School
burned to the ground in the summer of 196??
 their students were housed in Riverside while their new school was built. 
 The school was torn down in the late 70's and all that lovely straight grain wood
 was sold throughout the community
where it was re-cycled  into sheds, greenhouse and wharves."
