 The Arlington Court building is the entrance to the
roundhouse, and home to many railroad artifacts. This ornate building was
originally built in Revelstoke as a hotel and as lumber offices for the
Mundy Lumber Co. of Three Valley in 1912. After the sawmill burned down in
1913 the building was converted to a high-class apartment building, and
became known as Arlington Court.

| The Beruschi family purchased this
apartment building from Charlie Turnross in 1944. The Building experienced
a devastating fire in 1976. Jim Stewart and Glen Hoffman, both
brother-in-laws of Fred Beruschi Jr, salvaged the four white pillars along
with some windows. These ambitious young men owned a very progressive
construction company and had visions of using these pillars in some future
construction project, but a tragic airplane accident cost both their
lives. The Beruschi family gave the pillars to 3 Valley Gap. These pillars
are made of edge grain clear cedar tongue and grooved full-length
approximately 3"x3" each tapered to make the tapered column. |
