Arlington Beach House


Arlington Beach House was one of the first hotels built in Saskatchewan and was one of the first buildings constructed along Last Mountain Lake.

History

This once luxury hotel was built in 1910 at Arlington Beach, Saskatchewan. It was built by the William Pearson Land Company as a center of operations in Saskatchewan along the Last Mountain Lake and was a popular vacation destination for people all across central Saskatchewan.
As the CPR railway changed transportation patterns across the region, the land was sold to the Canadian Sunday School Mission in 1942. In 1960, Arlington Beach was purchased for a total of $14,000.00 by the Canada West Conference of the Free Methodist Church in Canada.

Design

Like most buildings built in the early part of the 20th century in Saskatchewan, the hotel was stick built and features a large two story veranda.
The main floor of the hotel has four rooms. There is a large lounge that still contains much of the original furnishings and other period pieces. It also features large dining room, a bedroom, and a double kitchen. The second floor contains six medium sized rooms, and a two room suite. The third floor had two large rooms and a long hallway.
