Built in 1900, the Land Registry Office has the look and feel of a government building. Solid brick construction, small windows, arched, recessed door - they all bespeak government. And fittingly, it is still occupied by an arm of the government, Emergency Management BC.

From a Walking Tour of Nelson’s Heritage Buildings, number 4.

This High Victorian building used fire–retardant materials retractable heavy metal shutters and a metal fire door to protect the main entrance. It was commissioned by J. Fred Hume, a Nelson hotelier, member of the B.C. Legislature and Minister of Mines.
