The Pride and joy of the REVELSTOKE FIRE DEPARTMENT is the original 1923 International Bickel fire truck which holds a place of honor in the small museum annex at the fire hall. Painstakingly restored by local volunteers, the Bickel replaced the man-drawn "hose wagons" at the turn of the century. The museum annex is open to visitors daily at no charge.

Architect Thomas Hooper designed Revelstoke's granite-faced COURTHOUSE (1912), finishing the building with brick and marble trim and a high copper dome.
Other noteable buildings, the Holten House (1897) and Pradolini Mansion (1908), characterize outstanding Victorian residential design. Leave a Comment
