Valeur patrimoniale
The Hornby Island Community Hall has significant heritage value, locally in the context of Hornby Island history and culture and regionally in the context of Pacific Coast vernacular architecture. Built in 1927 as a 25' x 40' hall and radically redesigned in the 1970s and 80s in the Pacific Coast vernacular style, the Community Hall embodies Hornby Island's spirit of civic volunteerism and artistic creativity. The Hall's early history is intertwined with the adjacent Community School property, particularly the Old Schoolhouse. Prominently situated at the junction of Central and Sollans Roads, the Community Hall today is Hornby Island's most distinctive and visible building.
