Gasoline Alley
Gasoline Alley dates from the 1950s when Kelsey Moore established his electrical and plumbing contracting business here. He added other building as needed and some these were occupied by other businesses, including a barbershop. The Alley retained its appearance after Kelsey's death in 1965, but by 1985 had been adapted for retail spaces. Gasoline Alley captured the character and charm of the village of Fort Langley.
