The historic Mount Revelstoke Fire Tower has just been restored by a special Parks Canada restoration team.
According to Parks Canada spokeswoman Jacolyn Daniluck this favourite heritage building was in need of repair due to natural wear and tear.
“It is now restored to how it would have been in the 1930s,” she said. “Note that the fire tower has been primed in white paint, and now it almost looks like it did in the 30s. We will be painting it white with green trim next summer as an additional step in its restoration.
Here are some before and after shots of the fire lookout:
