Royal Hotel

45886 Wellington Avenue

R.H.Brock Designer, 1909

“Construction on the 42 room Royal Hotel commenced in late 1908. The Chilliwack Progress reported that this was “another evidence of the growth of the city and faith in its prospects.” Robert H. Brock designed the hotel, and was also its contractor. The adjacent structure was originally the Royal Bank, built in 1906; like the hotel, it has been altered from its original appearance.”

I would like to thank the Royal Hotel for allowing me to photograph the hotel. I was allowed to go through the hotel and photograph any area of the hotel I wished. I took over 200 pictures and it looks like I will be able to post over 60 of these pictures on this page. They were all taken in black and white. I started with the lobby for the first set. All sets will be featured in a gallery setting. All photos taken on February 12, 2014 by Ted Sauriol. Enjoy.
