Description du lieu patrimonial
The Commercial Hotel, built in 1901, is a Municipal Heritage Property in the Town of Wapella. The property features a three-storey, buff-coloured brick structure that exhibits subtle Romanesque Revival-style features. The building occupies a prominent corner location on the town’s main street.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Commercial Hotel is of heritage value as one of Wapella’s oldest commercial structures. The building was constructed in 1901 as the Mundell Hotel, but by 1905, was renamed the Commercial Hotel. The substantial size and materials of the building reflect the prosperity of the community in the first decade of the twentieth century. The use of the then-popular Romanesque Revival style, defined by the long, narrow windows, a corbelled brick cornice and rooftop pinnacles, made the Commericial Hotel the town's establishment of choice during the period.
