This photo was taken in 1956 from near the fish house looking toward what is now the corner of N.C. Highway 12 and Silver Lake Drive. Just to the left of the truck in the foreground you can see the top of the Island Inn. To the left of that, you can barely make out the dormers of the house that sits behind Island Ragpicker and The Slushy Stand.
