1936
-- This fireplace is all that remains of Sechelt's second hotel
after a fire on July 26-27th 1936, destroyed the building.
The
cottage immediately to the right of the fireplace first housed
women who worked in the hotel in Herbert Whitaker's time then
employees of the Union Steamship Company. It was moved in 1981
to the south side of Mermaid Street and was still there in 2008.
The building with the four posts was used as a telephone office,
bank, Sechelt's municipal hall and drive-in restaurant.
