History

Established in 1911.

The large two storey wood framed structure, with its decorative parapet, was a typical main street commercial building back in the day. This was the third Bank of Montréal built in British Columbia and it operated as such until the entire Port Haney was ravaged by its third and final fire in 1932.

The Building had no cement foundation and had seriously deteriorated over the years, until it was purchased by the Gehrings for $ 11 000.00 in 1973. It underwent a lengthy, labour intensive restoration by Don Gehring himself. With restoration complete, a sympathetic addition was built and the structure was opened as the Billy Miner Pub in May 1981, lovingly owned, named and operated by Don and Bernice until 2002.

Resold and undergoing another transformation in 2009, restored the Old Billy Miner Pub into the Billy Miner Alehouse. With an emphasis on reclaiming a Neighbourhood that steeps in history the building was Deemed and Protected under the Heritage Act of British Columbia in 2011.
