THE NIGHT VAULT - IN NEW LIGHT
Many have speculated the ‘Old Night Vault’ in the Lower Gallery of the Union/Royal Bank building to be ‘Haunted’, but be assured, if this is true, the Ghosts are as friendly as ‘Casper’.
In 1909, standing alone at the top of Main Street, a two story Vault structure with a building foundation of cement, brick and mortar waited in anticipation for the BC Mills pre-fabricated wooden framework which was to become our beautiful Union Bank Building.
Today this building housing The Vault Cultural Collective has been renovated and remains vintage in appearance. One exception to the renovation is the ‘Night Vault’ in the Lower Gallery. It remains original in it’s 1909 appearance, though aged and slightly scarred.
Join us as we offer ‘New Light’ to this old ‘Night Vault’, thanks to a generous donation from the Western District Historical Society (WDHS).
The addition of LED lighting has offered The Vault the opportunity to share the ‘Night Vault’ with the Community, making it part of ‘History Corner’. Enjoy viewing Historical photos of images relating to the History and Development of Strathmore and District.
The Vault would like to thank; the WDHS for their donation, Brent Aschenbrenner for his electrical work and the Vault Art Team for their Vision.
The Vault Art Team will offer these Historical photos on a rotation basis, as we continue to add to our framed collection. If you or any of your Family members have good quality framed photos which we could add to our collection, please contact the vaultartteam@gmail.com
The Vault Cultural Collective is a non-profit organization founded in 2021. The Vault exhibits work by Local ARTists and ARTisans and is a Collective for all things Cultural. Visit The Vault on Main Street or on line at thevaultonline.ca.
Please Consider a Monetary Donation, all Donations are Gratefully Accepted, Charitable Receipts are Available.
