Federal Building
Across the street a logging locomotive used to rumble through the Townsite on its way to the Willingdon Beach landing. The track was taken up in 1926, but the rail bed from the former golf course to Beach, referred to as Lovers' Land in the 1920s, is now an excellent walking trail.
Turning left and proceeding down Ash Street you will pass the fine brink building that was opened as the Federal Building in 1929. This structure was intended to reflect the strength and stability of the government and was constructed at a cost of $50,000. It housed the Post Office, Customs and Excise and the Canadian Telegraph operations; and functioned in this capacity until 1974.
