Fort Hotel Demolished Ends Fort St. John Era
The Fort Hotel, built in 1929 as Fort St. John’s first hotel, was torn down on November 30 after years as a social hub. Survivors recall lively bars, notable guests, and memories from workers like Ralph Price and June Stephenson, while the building’s decline followed competing newer hotels in the 1970s.
