I recognize the top Queens as I almost posted it today myself. :)) Barrie, right?

Right! The second one is in Thornton.

I'm not in the right country or even continent to visit these, but they surely look attractive!

Looks very British or colonial?

Granny: the second one was a very nice family run place, but as happens, the owners became too old to carry on.

Mrs Nesbitt: very Canadian, I think!

Irene said...

Neat old places, they do show some history I think. It's a shame that the second one is for sale. Hopefully it will continue to be run as a pub. It would be sad if it lost its function.

VioletSky said...

I think that is the hope (according to the sign that is on the door)

Both elegant looking buildings.

Like them both but the gingerbread on the 2nd one is pretty nice!

They are so wonderful. I hope the second one turns out well!

Too bad someone hasn't come forward to keep the closing one open! It looks as though it has a lot of character and history to it. What a shame...

We used to have a very small Queens Hotel here too, but the land sold off and new building ( condo) went up in it's place.

Thanks for stopping by to comment on my Rodmay Hotel post. This weekend I am going to another heritage hotel in the town of Steveston. I will post about it next week most likely. Next to the Rodmay Hotel in Powell River is the Old Courthouse Inn. It is a conversion, but a very historic building. I believe it is on the market. - Margy

It's a shame when hotels have to close - less competition for the others.
