Silverton Memorial Hall

The Silverton Memorial Hall was built in 1919 in remembrance of those who died in World War I.

All labour to build the Hall was donated by local residents. Material for the building may have been purchased by fund raising events and/or donated by local sawmills and merchants or both.

The name of the Hall is on the face of the building along with a marble plaque, donated by the people of the Village of Silverton in memory. The plaque names 46 young men who sacrificed their lives in the first World War for our freedom. They are from Appledale, Slocan City, Sandon, Silverton, New Denver, Nakusp and Edgewood, B.C.

The building measures 36' by 82'. In the 1950's the village of Silverton built an addition for a kitchen, two washrooms, and a septic system. In 1985 considerable renovations were done to the inside; removing the stage, installing a balcony and making the Hall one of the best Acoustical Community Halls in Western Canada. Today the Hall is used extensively by Local residents and the surrounding Community.

At the present time the Hall requires considerable work to the foundation and footings along with ventilation and insulation under the building, a complete Paint and replacement of some siding.

The Royal Canadian Legion, New Denver/Silverton Branch 101 celebrate November 11th at the Cenotaph in New Denver. The eleven a.m. Service is well attended by the community and is followed by a march to the Hall for a service, lunch and social gathering.
