Community Development Notice of Intent to Designate A Provincial Historic Resource (Historical Resources Act) File: Des. 384 Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this Notice and its publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Community Development intends to make an Order that the site known as the: Hudson’s Bay Company Factor’s House, together with the land legally described as: Plan 3383 ET, Block One (1) Excepting thereout: (a) 1.07 hectares (2.65 acres) more or less subdivided under Plan 5516 NY (b) 0.979 hectares (2.42 acres) more or less subdivided under Plan 2777 RS. Excepting thereout all mines and minerals and the right to work the same. and municipally located Fort Vermilion, Alberta be designated as a PROVINCIAL HISTORIC RESOURCE under Section 20 of the HISTORICAL RESOURCES ACT, R.S.A. 2000 cH-9. - 296 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 The reasons for the designation are as follows: The Hudson’s Bay Company Factor’s House is significant as the only remaining structural evidence of the fur trade that operated in the area since the late eighteenth century. As the residence of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) factors from 1906 until the 1930s, it represents the northern reaches of the HBC’s emporium and the dominance of the HBC in the far-flung community, which then was the largest between Edmonton and the Yukon. The House is also significant for its architectural style, as the first dwelling of its kind to be constructed in northern Alberta. The Factor’s House represents a fur trade history that dates back to 1788, when the North West Company established a post on the flats of the Peace River. It attracted Beaver, Slavey, and Cree First Nations as well as Métis free traders. Fort Vermilion became one of the most important posts in the northwest because it allowed access to the furs of the boreal forest and to hunting (and later farming) on open parkland around the fort. Accordingly, in 1830 the Hudson’s Bay Company built a provisions post here to supply bison and moose meat to canoe and boat brigades and other posts like Forts Chipewyan and Dunvegan. Fort Vermilion served as the Company’s chief post on the Peace River until 1878. The Factor’s House is one of three remaining factors’ houses in Alberta. The factors at Fort Vermilion influenced both the fur trade and the emerging agricultural economy throughout the Northwest, and their residence was an important gathering place for business and social activities. When completed it was one of the largest and most fashionable residences in the northwest. By this time Fort Vermilion was a key commercial centre with a Company farm and mills serving the growing settlement of the Peace district. As a wood frame building, made from timber processed at the HBC sawmill, the Factor’s House demonstrates the evolution of construction in HBC posts. There are no other fur trade structures of this type, size and age in northern Alberta. The House is a significant visual landmark in Fort Vermilion and, viewed from the Peace River, recalls the critical role played by the Peace as a transportation route in the fur trade. Archaeological resources present on the site have the potential to provide valuable scientific information on the occupancy of the site by the Hudson’s Bay Company and the prehistory of the area. It is therefore considered that the preservation and protection of the resource is in the public interest. Dated January 16, 2005.
