Heritage Station House
For over 100 years, the Station House, which now comprises one wing of our
new Community Hall, served the Okanagan Landing in a number of ways.
When the CPR provided the only transportation from Vernon to the south Okanagan, fruit, vegetables, goods, and people passed through the Station House doors to board the Sternwheelers which plied this route.
When the railroad withdrew its services in 1836, the Station House passed into private hands. It was renovated to serve as an apartment house until it was donated to the Okanagan Landing & District Community Association by Wes and Kay Whitehead in 1982. Since its restoration has long been a dream of the Association, it seemed appropriate to incorporate it into our new facility and mirror its architectural features in the New Hall Wing. Now we are ready to put this heritage building into use again to serve our community as a repository for historical memorabilia and photos from our colourful past.
The Station House renovation is in process and a new renovation committee was formed in January, 2009. If you have questions about this project, or you are able to contribute in any way to this project, please contact one of the Board of Directors or send us an email:
