Prairie Inn - Central Saanich, BC - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

From the Central Saanich Heritage Walk guide:

From Kent, England, Henry Simpson was one of the first farmers and first businessman on the Cross Road.
In 1859, on the trail to and from Victoria, he built “The Tavern” and later in 1893 replaced it with the “Prairie Inn”, a real hostel catering to travelers and wayfarers who wished for a drink and a good meal. Henry Simpson and his family ran a post office, a horse service and later, when roads appeared, a stage to Victoria. He was a great community worker, one of the founders of the Saanich Agricultural Fair and farmed 300 acres on either side of Mt. Newton Cross Road.
