  • Barkerville and Its Buildings
    Eldorado Vernacular: Barkerville and Its Buildings Jennifer Iredale* ooden buildings from the gold rush era can be found from Victoria to Barkerville in British Columbia. Taken as a whole, this built heritage might be described as an “Eldorado WVernacular” – a legacy of a frenetic period of population movement, temporary settlement, and catch-as-catch can building – rather than as a formal architectural tradition.1 Isolation, the pressing need for shelter, a poorly developed transportation infrastructure, and abundant local forests spawned wooden structures designed for expedient domestic and functional purposes rather than for polite or monumental ends, many of them in “instant towns” such as Barkerville, founded in 1862 and historically the most important surviving gold rush settlement in the province.2 As early as 1924, Barkerville and the Cariboo goldfields were desig- nated as a national historic site by the government of Canada. In 1958, a provincial government committed to preserving evidence of the transformative gold rushes that had brought the mainland colony into existence a century before designated a number of historic places significant for their gold rush history, and Barkerville was reborn as a historic town and tourist attraction. In the years that followed, several * I wish to acknowledge and thank colleagues at Barkerville Historic Town whose work has contributed to this article, particularly past curators Clarence Wood, Ken Mather, and Bill Quackenbush as well as past ceo Judy Campbell and colleagues Ken Scopick, Ron Candy, Jennifer Morford, Dave Coulson, Anne Laing, Mandy Kilsby, Mike Will, and Richard Wright. Portions of this article appear in Another Wooden City among the Rocks: Historic Places of the Gold Rush in British Columbia, the Royal BC Museum’s catalogue accompanying the exhibition “Gold Rush! El Dorado in BC.” 1 Surviving examples of similar architectural traditions can be found in California (e.g., at Bodie and Columbia) and, dating to the Klondike gold rush, in Dawson City and Skagway.

The people who settled Nanaimo came, for the most part, from British coal mining regions. They came to improve their standard of living, but, as in Britain, worked in a capital and labour intensive industry. This thesis examines their patterns of settlement in this new town on the Pacific and stresses the analysis of occupational mobility, residential segregation, and levels of home ownership.

  • History of Ashlar Lodge, No. 3, G.R.B.C. 1865- 1921
    History of Ashlar Lodge, No. 3, G.R.B.C. 1865- 1921 THE HISTORY OF EARLY MASONRY IN NANAIMO AND AREA FROM 1865 AND PARTICULARLY OF ASHLAR LODGE NO. 3, G.R.B.C. For the following, we are deeply indebted to the late R.W. Bro. William Stewart, who considered it his duty to record all important events relating to Freemasonry, and it is from his records, notes and letters he wrote to Grand Lodge Officers, that the most of this information was gathered. Valuable items were also gleaned from Historical Notes and Biographical Sketches 1848 to 1935, by the late M.W. Bro. Robie L. Reid, K.C., LL.D., Grand Historian for the Grand Lodge of British Columbia. In the year 1865, eleven years after the arrival of those courageous pioneers who sailed on the “Princess Royal” and landed at Nanaimo, this village was “growing up” both physically and socially, and it was only natural for brother Masons to seek, each other out, and band together to form a Masonic Lodge. During the year 1865, a meeting was held by members of the Craft at the home of Bro. Alexander Mayer, the room being at the rear of his place of business known as the “Red House.” This building was situated on the N.E. corner of Commercial and Bastion Streets, and at the eastern end of this block stood the famed Nanaimo Bastion. At this meeting it was resolved “that a petition should be drawn up, signed, and sent to the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England, for a warrant to establish a Masonic Lodge in the town of Nanaimo, Colony of Vancouver Island, to be known as “NANAIMO LODGE.” Records do not state who were present at that meeting, but it can be assumed they were those brethren who signed the petition and became Charter members of the first Nanaimo Lodge.

  • The Native Sons of British Columbia and the Role of Myth in the Formation of an Urban Middle Class1
    “The Wondrous Story and Traditions of the Country”: The Native Sons of British Columbia and the Role of Myth in the Formation of an Urban Middle Class1 F ORREST D. PASS n his report to the 1930 Grand Post of the Native Sons of British Columbia, Grand Factor J.P. Hampton Bole, a New Westminster Ilawyer, discussed his conception of the role and future of the uniquely British Columbian secret society. “During the past year,” Bole told his brethren, “the fact has been brought home to me that our movement is of far greater importance than a casual observer might think. It recalls to my mind the lessons of history; of the brotherhoods of old that were founded like our own on service to the community rather than personal advantage. Little bands or guilds in the Old Countries that grew into great organizations. We too can do that. We are on the right road.”2 Bole’s predictions regarding the destiny of his organization may have been unduly optimistic, but they touched upon several el- ements of the mythology of the Native Sons. Bole spoke reverently of the “lessons of history,” invoking the organization’s unwavering faith in the didactic potential of the past. In his interpretation of the objects of “the brotherhoods of old,” Bole articulated the antimodernist contention that past generations had exhibited a level of virtue, a belief in “service to the community,” worthy of emulation in the present. In its public activities and pronouncements, the Native Sons of British Columbia extolled public service as a legacy of the province’s pioneers.
