Heritage value

The Jordan Block is made up of two buildings which are two of the last surviving commercial buildings from the early days of Rossland development. Built in 1896 both buildings have been in continuous use as businesses since their construction.
The Jordan Block is further valued for its location in downtown Rossland near other heritage buildings. It is the western anchor of one of three blocks in downtown Rossland with a dense concentration of heritage buildings that escaped the disastrous fires of 1927 and 1929.
Extensive renovation and restoration efforts have been made over many years by owners to keep and enhance the heritage ambience presented by the facades of the buildings in the Jordan Block.
