The Galbraith is an 1892 Queen Anne revival and one of the finest examples of high Victorian stick style mansions remaining in western Canada. Built as a showcase by Hugh Galbraith, one of the local lumber and millwork barons of that time, who emphasized the opulent and unique features of a tower with octagon wall shingles, over 200 corbels, intricate frieze details, heavy gable and skirt details, wood finials and a magnificent metal finial spire.
We have tables and chairs, a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor barbecue area, a dance floor and an audio system for your music.There are a number of nearby caterers and ample free parking.
Our banquet room and patio areas are wheelchair accessible.
