Fintry Haybarn-Granary

Built in the mid-1920s, the Fintry Haybarn-Granary is significant because it conveys the scale and vision of the agricultural operations developed by James C. Dun-Waters at the Fintry Estate between 1909 and 1939.

The Fintry Haybarn-Granary reveals the scale of the cow and horse herds, and the existence of hay and grain-growing lands that were part of the estate's agricultural operation. The building is also important because it houses a mill for processing grain supplied by grain harvested from the estate's delta lands.

This building, fitted with a Pelton water turbine, also represents the isolation of the estate far from the developing electrical grid in the Okanagan, its singular hydro asset in the form of the precipitous run of Shorts Creek to its delta, and the ambition of Dun-Waters himself.
