Apartment in Quesnel, B.C.In February of 2006 I purchased a two bedroom apartment, this time in Quesnel, British Columbia. This apartment is also an investment property that is currently being rented out to a long term tenant and the building, which is only 20 years old is in excellent shape.

Built at the junction of
the Fraser and Quesnel rivers, this settlement grew rapidly as a way station on
the route to the goldfields. By the early 1860's Quesnel Mouth, as it was known
then, had two hotels, two stores, the Hudson's Bay Post, a telegraph office,
grist mill and lumber mill. Paddlewheel steamers stopped on their way up the
Fraser River from Soda Creek to Fort George (now Prince George). Saddle trains
packed goods between Quesnel and Barkerville. As in the past, Quesnel continues
to attract adventurers on their way to the goldfields and the restored gold rush
town of Barkerville.
Reminders of a colourful
past survive. Visitors will enjoy stopping at the original Hudson Bay Store (a
log structure built in 1859). Across the street is a Cornish Water Wheel and
boilers and iron parts from the first Fraser River riverboat to travel to the
city. Then stroll the old Fraser River Bridge to west Quesnel. Built in 1928 the
old bridge now serves foot traffic only. Continue through Riverfront Park and
the walking trail that winds past historic points of interest and along the
banks of the Quesnel River. Flower displays on streets and bridges add a
picturesque charm to this modern thriving city.
