The C.C. Snowdon

Snowdon was one of the first oil refining business in Western Canada. The building was originally a factory, established in 1911 and used for the production of oils, grease and paints. 

Campbell Camillus Snowdon was born in Montreal. He owned and operated the factory until 1921. In 1970 the Snowdon family sold the company, and since then the building has been home to many businesses and also spent a great deal of time vacant.

CHRC in the c.c. snowdon building

We fell in love with the rustic beauty of the C.C. Snowdon building the first time we stepped inside.

After years of vacancy the space needed some love poured into it to restore the Snowdon to it's original beauty.

Bringing the floors back to life was a much bigger endeavour than we could have anticipated. We hand scrapped the floors over long evenings with cold beers and friends who are too good to us! It took nearly 80 hours to remove the years of paint and expose the original hardwood floors. 


All of the tables in the space have been built by our President Jamie Parker. They are are made out of the original Douglas Fir floors from the basement. 

During construction we were pleasantly surprised to find gorgeous wide plank Douglas Fir floors from the 1911 construction. The planks made up the original foundation and so had to be removed and replaced with a cement foundation. 

We were overjoyed to be able to repurpose the wood and honour the integrity of this historic space.
