This Hotel stands after almost 100 years- but as a shell

Something always brings me back to this place ever since I first laid eyes on it from atop one of the many hills in Kaleden.

It was a Hotel that was built to accomodate the Kettle Valley Railroad passengers, but was only open for two  years, and yet, it still stands, proud and shapely against the backdrop of gorgeous Skaha Lake.

I want to celebrate the beauty of this structure and hopefully my pictures will be a fitting tribute.

  1. Visited this ruin last week, and was surprised to learn that there was no rebar in this structure, as there are so few cracks in the walls. Dennis
