This complicated intersection is known as "Five Corners." This sport was named for the intersection of the Landing Road, Westminster-Yale Wagon Road (route to BC's interior), and Young Road which lead to Minto Landing, where steamboats crossed the Fraser River. This crossroads was an important spot for travel across the Fraser Valley.

A side view of the Harrison House Hotel during the Fraser River flood of 1894. Two First Nations men are standing in canoe, holding onto poles along the wood plank sidewalk on the right. IN the centre of the image, a single small black dog visible lays on the sidewalk, seemingly unbothered by the high waters.

This street scene shows the commercial hub at Five Corners, and a series of buildings along Yale Road East. Men and horse-drawn wagons mingle in front of the Irwin Block, at the corner of Yale Road East and Young Road South. A sign in window of the Irwin Block advertises for A.M. Rogers & Co. Insurance. Parsons clothing store appears in the bottom floor of the Driscol Block (later the Barber Block). At the centre of the intersection is a concrete drinking trough where horses can drink.

Two men walk behind a group of eight pigs, on the snow covered road to Chilliwack Landing. Split rail fencing is visible on both sides of road, and mountain range stand tall in the background. The words, "Driving pigs to market!!!" are handwritten in pencil on the back of original photograph.

This postcard looks east along Wellington towards Five Corners in downtown Chilliwack. The Royal Bank, Ashwell's and Irwin's Store are visible.

This photo of the Murphy house at 45738 Wellington Avenue was captured shortly after its completion in 1909. It was one of several houses owned by Thomas Bartlett. The first residents were the Murphy family. H.R. Bert Murphy was a salesman for the Beatty washing machine and farm equipment company. The Murphy family lived in the house for only two years before City Clerk Peter J. Brown, the City Clerk moved in. The house features a prominent verandah, and unusual decorated vergeboards. The family on the in this photo is likely the Murphy family.

Sam Barclay stands proudly atop a four-horse team drawn wagon loaded with lumber from the Sam Trethewey Mill. The wagon stands in front of the Royal Bank building, at the corner of Main Street and Wellington Avenue. Sam Barclay worked for Sam Trethewey at his mill on Castleman Road in Rosedale, which burned down sometime in 1910 - 11, shortly after this photo was taken.

Dr. McCaffrey's house once occupied this corner of Mill Street and Victoria Avenue. He lived in this house and used it for his practice, but also travelled all over Chilliwack to visit patients.

A front view Dr. Robert McCaffrey's house on the left of the photo. The house sat at 15 Mill Street, which is covered in a deep layer of snow. Dr. McCaffrey first came to Chilliwack in 1904, fresh out of medical school from Ontario. He built his office and home on Mill Street and Victoria Ave and travelled around the area to see patients by horse and buggy or on horseback. He sometimes crossed the Fraser River by canoe and travelled on foot during the winter. Dr. McCaffrey was the driving force behind the new hospital and Valley Haven Guest Home. Many churches benefited by his donations, although he was not a church attender. In the later days of his practice Dr. McCaffrey brought his little Pekinese dog, Toy, on his visits, setting the dog on the foot of the patient's bed, temporarilly distracting patients from their ailments. Dr. McCaffrey died in 1960, a prominent and well-loved citizen of Chilliwack.
