c1910 -- Sechelt's first hotel, built by Herbert Whitaker in 1899, with a west wing added in the early 1900s, burned down in 1914. The small building behind on the right was the heating plant. The two storey house in the trees was the home of H.J. Haslett and his wife Evelyn, one of Herbert Whitaker's sisters.
