Fernie

Fernie maintains a unique charm that has evolved from its coal mining and lumber past. The historic sites, residences and buildings are still abundant today and make for enjoyable walks from the Doctor’s House.

Buildings such as Fernie’s Court House, the Library and the historic downtown are only two blocks away. The courthouse was originally constructed entirely from wood and tragically completed only weeks before the devastating fire of 1908. Its replacement, shown here, went with the a more fire retardant approach…brick, cement and a slate roof.
