1964
-- Another fire at the Sechelt Inn
This
fire was set by the Sechelt firemen to raze the already badly
fire damaged building. Mrs. Florence Duncan, the owner, had lost
the Sechelt Inn due to a fire in 1963. The Sechelt Inn had been
built as a family home in 1906 for Alfred and Henrietta Whitaker.
In 1926 their son Herbert Whitaker's estate sold it and his lands
and assets to the Union Steamship Company. It was run by the Company's
subsidiary, Union Estates, until 1962 when Mrs. Florence Duncan
acquired the lovely old building.
