But this\u00a0directory shows several now historical places, businesses, resorts, beaches, etc. Note the prominent landmark location\u00a0referring to Terry&#8217;s Corner. This corner used to refer to the intersection of North Camano Drive and Sunrise Blvd which is why there are so many trees in the distance on the hillside behind the sign. There was a stop sign there as there is now. The right turn takes you to Utsalady and the left turn takes you south.\u00a0This photograph was taken before the fork was put in the State Highway Dept in the 1960s so the photograph would be dated some time in the 1950s or early 60s.\u00a0 It was located at the time at the stop sign intersection beyond the current gateway Camano Island Chamber of Commerce building because S. R. 532 to the south end\u00a0had not yet bypassed that intersection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sahs-fncc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/2003_102_01IslandCounty-Kroll_1932TerrysCorner.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sahs-fncc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/2003_102_01IslandCounty-Kroll_1932TerrysCorner.gif\" alt=\"Terrys Corner Kroll Plat Map 1932\" width=\"400\" height=\"329\" \/><\/a>The name of the photographer has been identified as Charles Terry, the owner of the property at the time. \u00a0 The 1932 Kroll map clipping shows that at the time it belonged to William Terry, Charles father. \u00a0For more on this history, see the book <em>Camano Island Images of America (Arcadia Publishing, 2006<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have information that would further date this photograph, such as the dates that Seashell Caf\u00e9 existed, please let us know!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sahs-fncc.org\/?page_id=23\">Contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Dorpat, Seattle historical photograph expert shared this photograph with the Stanwood Area Historical Society many years ago.
