Constructed in 1905, the building housed Hunter Brothers Department Store for almost 50 years. During a time when most businesses were small and more specialized, Hunter Bros. was diversified, catering to housewives, miners and businesses alike.
As Rossland’s largest mercantile establishment, Hunter Bros. dealt in groceries, hardware, drygoods and clothing until the 1950’s when the store was sold to the T. Eaton Co. The building is now the home of Rossland Pro Hardware.
This building is registered in the Rossland Heritage Register.
