History / Biographical

Efforts to renovate Hazelton's Old Town in a pioneer style began in 1975 with a plan prepared for the Hazelton Area Historical Association and the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District by two UBC architecture students. The stockade and sign in this photo were erected at the end of summer 1975, with the intention of updating the sign every time a new phase was passed. (Interior News, August 3rd 1977, pg. 18).

Item was stored in Room 6 until being found in collections and accessioned in Fall 2020.
