Architect gives advice At the beginning of December, the Castlegar and District Heritage Society irivited restoration architect Brian Nelson, B.Sc., M. Arch., MAIBC, MRAIC,to study the Castlegar Rail Station and make a report. For the benefit of interested citizens who will be visiting the station before or after Heritage Wei offer the following excerpts from his just-received report. Any knowledgeable pictures or artifacts are most welcome. in general, the old railway station appears‘to be in good repair, with the possibility of the original wood cladding being if very good condition, under the “over coat"’ of the asbestos-cement board cladding. I will address the main points of concern in a tabulated format as follows FOUNDATION SYSTEM The new crawl space appears to be somewhat damp. This should be investigated and the cause remedied ROOF SYSTEM The existing roof appears to be intact and free from leakage. However, it probably will not perform for much longer. | would strongly recommend that the society plan to replace the cedar roof with No. | grade coastal cedar INSULATION The attic is adequately ventilated and is completely uninsulated. | recommend that rigid or semi-rigid in sulation be installed in the sloped rafter portions (main tain an air space above the insulation) and batt or blow in insulation in the horizontal portions. A custom-made installation tool may be required t@Ptace the insulation in the sloped areas, due to reldtive inaccessibility However, Lam sure you are up to the challenge Insulating the exterior walls is a low priority at this time, and will likely not be done unless you intend to replace the interior watt finishes EXTERIOR FINISHES The existing siding is a post-Second World War ad. dition which, hopefully, will remove without significant damage to the original drop siding. This will be a labor intensive operation, but should reveal the true character of. the building. The original paint on the siding will likely require stripping with heat guns and spatulas (no caustic paint strippers!) and a lot of commitment to bring about full restoration, but will be worth the effort The stucco finish on the upper storey is also a post war addition, as earlier photographs indicate painted siding matching the lower walls. Removal of the stucco may reveal some damage to the existing siding, or may even reveal the siding-to have been previously removed Restoration to the original will give the building a more massive and dignified appearance Exterior windows and frames are in generally good repair, with some glazing panes requiring replacement to provide consistency of color texture, to the original glazing The horizontal soffit under the roof overhang is an addition to the original exposed rafter system. Removal of this falsework will require replacement of the original knee brackets, which have been removed. The specific design of these elements will require that some definitive research be done to authenticate the detailing. These brackets will be. required both structurally and esthetically The striated plywood panelling which abounds in the building should-be probed "to reveal the original ay Station blueprints finish behind, (Presumably the beaded-tongue-and groove panelling found in the original exterior, soffit and elsewhere in the building interior.) The ceiling should be fire rated with an application of 5/8 inche Type X gypsum wall board, then finished with a restorative application of the original ceiling finish. or tongue-and-groove flooring board. Again, some definite research should be performed to determine authenticity ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LIGHTING Interior and exterior lighting will have a significant impact on the architectural character of the building Research will be required to authenticate the system, 1 do not believe that it will be necessary (or advisable) to replicate the original-wiring—system, for obvious reasons MECHANICALSYSTEM The existing cast-iron radiation system appears to be missing'its boiler and chimney. If possible, it would be historically satisfying to restore this system However, this may not be affordable or practical, if the system does not provide an.adequatetevetof comfort John Charters Reflections and recollections The modern forced-air system which has been in stalled should be considered to be a stopgap measure only. This system can be re-installed appropriately to provide an efficient and non-intrusive (architecturally) heating/ventilating system. Perhaps the radiators can be left in place to illustrate the technology of the era of the building CIRCULATION SYSTEMS The stair to the upper floor can be re-routed to the interior, if'security warrants. This is a minor concession 0 modern necessity, if deemed desirable. Perhaps the original exterior door to the stairwell can be maintained (ina fixed position) for external authenticity The exterior appears to have been a ‘*boardwalk.” Again some research will be instrumental in determining the original condition. It would be my recommendation SUPERMARKET SELECTION SUPERMARKET SAVINGS Due to the fantastic response to our year-end sale, we now have the largest selection of used cars and trucks available in the Kootenays. .1988 TRANS AM GTA ein. $21,888 1988 CAMARO IROC LT ww 918,808 ~ 1988 GMC ¥2-TON $10,888 1988 GRAND AM $11,888 low miles.

Stk. 8-0505-1 to re-create the authentic features of the railside en vironment, including perhaps some railway ‘‘lan dscape"' (e.g. rail bed, locomotive, passenger car, etc.) Certainly some traditional plantings may be desirable. However, | would recommend that these be placed to the periphery of the project. I believe that restoration imposes an obligation to re-create with authenticity, and ta provide the modern participant with the privilege of experiencing the reality of the past, even if that reality does not meet with current attitudes and esthetic standards UPPER FLOOR AREA This former station master’s residence is in sur prisingly good condition, requiring not much more than cleaning and painting forcontinued use.
