History / Biographical: The Glacier House was originally built in 1886 to remove the burden of heavy dining cars by acting as one of multiple attractive pit stops for CPR passengers to take their meals. The building was expanded multiple times over the following 3 decades to accommodate a growing demand for overnight accommodation and increased railway traffic. Glacier House became less marketable by the 20's as dining service improved onboard trains, and the building closed in 1925. Plans were made for new extensions in 1926, but these were never realized.

Scope & Content: File consists of 3 printed posters and 2 pages with blueprints/illustrations. Content pertains to colour advertisements for the Canadian Pacific Railroad (one promoting a new route to Thunder Bay via Winnipeg on the CPR, one advertising 'The Red Letter Day' in 1986 as the CPR opened up a direct line from the Atlantic to Pacific coasts, and one reprint of a poster, date unknown, which originally promoted the CPR in the early 20th century). Also consists of a blueprint design for a proposed extension to the original Glacier House building in the Selkirks (dated 1926) and one print copy of a painted illustration depicting another proposed building design for the Glacier House, date unknown. The blueprint and illustration are possibly more recent copies of older items, and therefore a later date range of [ca. 1940 to ca. 1970] has been added to this file description.

Abstract: "Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) (Heritage Conservation Studies, Architecture and Engineering Services) was requested by Claire Sieber (Cultural Resource Management Advisor for Parks Canada's Mount Revelstoke and Glacier Field Unit) to provide recording services of eastbound and westbound viewscapes in Glacier National Park, including Rogers Pass National Historic Site (RPNHS) in British Columbia. This request stems from an analysis made by the Mount Revelstoke and Glacier Field Unit in conjunction with Parks Canada's Indigenous Affairs and Cultural Heritage Directorate to identify the values of this cultural landscape and its character-defining elements and subsequently document them. This is a mitigation measure assocated with constriction on the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH)." - Project Description
