The building was the location of the Old House Restaurant from approximately 1974 to 2011 (although it went through a short and weird period as Tomato Tomato in 2006). Prior to that, it was the home of the Kirk family, who had the Home Oil bulk dealership next door. Ask us about Lena, the ghost. Prior to European settlement, it was home to a K’ómoks village.
The old Field’s sawmill site across the river is being returned from being an industrial site to an approximation of it’s pre-industrial use and will be named by it’s K’ómoks name, Kus Kus Sum. Project Watershed is spearheading the fundraising. We are supporting this transformation.
