340 and 338 Baker Street

(left) J.M. Ludwig Leathergoods. Built for William Goepel around 1897, acting government agent and inspector of provincial government offices, this building was soon used as a hardware, clothing and mining–supply store. It is the only remaining wooden frame building on Baker Street with a mansard roof.
(right) Bellamy’s Grocery (c. 1895). Little is known about this wooden structure except that it operated as a grocery store until 1972. This building is typical boomtown architecture with a bracketed cornice that gives an illusion of grandeur. Note the carpenter’s detailed sunburst motif and the decorative cedar shingles. The Bellamy and adjacent Ludwig structure received Nelson’s Heritage Building of the Year award in 1983.
