This simple two storey Edwardian building was originally a store and
photographic gallery for Joseph Sommers. By 1907, he was sharing
the premises with Fleming Bros Photographer.
Over the years it has lost the architectural details but it is
nevertheless a visual link to the Edwardian commercial buildings along
Government Street. In 2009 it houses a restaurant.
This Hallmark Society project has been funded by the HBC Foundation and the BC150-Heritage Legacy Fund.
