Killarney Mountain Lodge features the Canada House Conference Centre, the largest log-built conference centre in the world. [1] The name "Canada House" reflects the use of traditional local techniques, bringing together people and materials to complete the structure. [1] Construction began in 2017 and was completed in 2019. [2]
Theirs were built with logs or split-log frame, and covered with split log planks, and sometimes an additional bark cover. Cedar is the preferred lumber. The wealthy built extraordinarily large longhouses. Old Man House, built by the Suquamish, at what became the Port Madison Squamish Reservation, was 152 by 12–18 m (500 by 40–60 ft), c. 1850.
David Fife Cabin - This 1820s log cabin is typical of the settler's first one-room log home. [1] Built by David Fife, a Scottish immigrant, the cabin is currently located in the village only a few miles from its original site. David Fife was the pioneer of Red Fife Wheat production in Canada.
For those who were unsure of how to build a home, an industry of predesigned and prefabricated homes sold by catalogue developed.

The Eaton's catalogue of 1910 offered homes from a shack for $165 to a nine-room house for $1,025 ...

Depending on the size and style of the plan, the materials needed to construct a typical house, including perhaps 10,000–30,000 pieces of lumber and other building material, [4] would be shipped by rail, filling one or two railroad boxcars, [6] [7] which would be loaded at the company's mill and sent to the customer's home town, where they would be parked on a siding or in a freight yard for ...
The collapse of the boom not long after construction had begun proved disastrous. Aladdin's output fell below 1000 homes in 1928 on the eve of the Great Depression, and never recovered. It exited the Canadian market in 1952. [3] The company continued to produce catalogues, and maintained sales of a few hundred homes per year through the 1960s.
