Description du lieu patrimonial

The 150 Mile House Courthouse is a weathered single-storey wood-frame building which is supported on blocks in a temporary location beside Highway 97 at 150 Mile House, in the Cariboo Region of British Columbia. It has a cedar-shingled cottage-style hipped roof, a covered porch, and window openings without glass.

Valeur patrimoniale

Built in 1913 and rescued from demolition twice by community volunteers, the 150 Mile House Courthouse is the last evidence of the importance of 150 Mile House as a government administrative centre and major regional supply centre during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The 150 Mile House Courthouse is characteristic of British Columbia government courthouses of the time, representing the need for law and order along the Gold Rush Trail. It was the B.C. Provincial Police Constable's residence as well as the courthouse and jail. Although no longer used as a courthouse after 1928, the building's significance to the community also includes its use as a post office for many years.
