-- Rockwood Lodge under construction
Situated
on Block 5, of D.L. 1331 the lodge was built by Bill Youngson
and Arthur Neal. After successfully operating the lodge from 1936
until 1946, Bill and Jessie Youngson moved into their cottage
in the lodge grounds. They had come from Scotland to Sechelt in
1926 to act as caretaker and cook for the Fleck family of Opeongo
Lodge.
Rockwood
Lodge changed ownership six times between 1946 and 1980 until
the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce purchased it and leased it to
various businesses. In 1986 the District of Sechelt assumed the
mortgage and still maintain the lodge and grounds for a variety
of purposes. Since 1983 the Sechelt Festival of the Written Arts
has held a very successful annual event.
This
series of photographs documents the building of the house, now
a heritage building.
