Joan Graham Collection -- Rockwood Lodge, Page 3

Rockwood Centre, originally Rockwood Lodge and listed as a heritage building, was built by Bill and Jessie Youngson in 1935 and run by them as a guest house until 1946. It is located at the west end of Cowrie Street in Sechelt and stands above the street looking east over downtown Sechelt It changed hands six times until taken over by the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce in 1980 for an office and to house a tea room and craft shop. The District of Sechelt assumed the mortgage in 1986 and permitted a local group to manage the lodge as a community use facility. This group restored the north wing, established the lovely rhododendron garden and renamed the complex, Rockwood Centre. It is now run by the Sun Coast Rockwood Lodge Centre under the auspices of the District of Sechelt and is available for meetings, seminars, workshops and recreational activities. Every August the very successful Sechelt Festival of the Written Arts, founded by local author Betty Keller, is held at the Rockwood Centre.
