Here’s a collection of buildings, in or near downtown Creston, with interesting histories. Below, you’ll find photos of an architectural detail that hints at the building’s history. Use the photos, and the description and histories, to identify all the buildings. Take a photo of each building, or note down the name of the business that’s in it now. Then, email your finished scavenger hunt to crestonmuseum@telus.net!
The Route:
All the buildings are near downtown, but they’re not all on Canyon Street! As an added help, we’ve presented them here in order, on a route that starts at the Visitor Information Centre (121 Northwest Boulevard). To get to the first building, walk away from downtown Creston on Northwest Boulevard. Then, turn right on Hillside Street and walk up the hill to 10th Avenue North. Turn right, walk down to Canyon Street, turn left, then left again on 11th Avenue North and go back up to Hillside Street. Then turn right on 15th Avenue North to return to Canyon Street. Cross Canyon Street, turn right, and return to the Visitor Information Centre. You will have passed all the buildings in this Scavenger Hunt!
