Photograph of the original store at Refuge Cove, taken from the head of the ramp by Norman and Doris Hope's house. To the right of the store is a fuel tank and a shed used for storing the tools needed for the tanks, drums of oil, etc. The store burned down in 1968.

View of the new store, still sitting on its barge but the barge is no longer floating; it is now inter-tidal. Skip Frucktinick's (sp?) ferro-cement sailboat is leaning against it.
