45 Vintage Photos Capture Nelson Houses in the Early 1930s

Nelson is a city located in the Selkirk Mountains on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.

Known as “The Queen City”, and acknowledged for its impressive collection of restored heritage buildings from its glory days in a regional silver rush, Nelson is one of the three cities forming the commercial and population core of the West Kootenay region, the others being Castlegar and Trail.

The city is the seat of the Regional District of Central Kootenay. It is represented in the provincial legislature by the riding of Nelson-Creston, and in the Parliament of Canada by the riding of Kootenay—Columbia.

These photographs of Nelson houses from Touchstones Nelson were taken in the early 1930s by “a young fellow ... [who] was interested in architecture.” Many of these houses are still standing today in Nelson.
