The Building...
This beautiful Heritage Building was built in 1913 as the original City Hall
of Port Moody. This also marked the incorporation of Port Moody as a
city. The City Hall served also as a police station, jail and fire hall.
The tall western tower housing the elevator was used
to dry the fire hoses and the prisoners were kept in cells in the basement
where the pottery kilns are now.
Perhaps it is one of these long ago prisoners that we hear walking up and
down the main staircase at late night pottery firings! Another topic of
speculation and debate - is there or is there not a secret tunnel under
St. John's Street to Jake's Pub? |
