F.M. Rattenbury, noted architect of
British Columbia’s Parliament Buildings
and Empress Hotel in Victoria,
designed this building that cost $109,145.88. It is
a fine example of Beaux Arts Chateau style
architecture with its high–pitched roof, tower with
conical cap, gables and paired windows. Ironically,
in February 1909, men from the gaol were
commandeered to "hurry things into shape" for
County Court sittings.
