Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery

Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery occupies a picturesque site east of Spall Road, at the base of Dilworth Mountain, with rolling topography and panoramic views to the south. The City of Kelowna has operated the Cemetery since 1911. Prior to this it had been established as a small public burying ground. Over time, an adjacent Anglican cemetery and the private Hardy Family cemetery were established, now amalgamated and expanded until the cemetery reached its current size of 20 hectares. In total, the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery contains over 15,000 interments.

St. Aidan's Church

St. Aidan’s Anglican Church is a one-storey, front-gabled church distinguished by its square front-projecting entryway with crenellated parapets and a round-arched entry with a wood-panelled door. The church is located on a highly visible lot on Rutland Road, at the corner of Mugford Road, in the Rutland neighbourhood of Kelowna. The site is now owned by the Okanagan Buddhist Cultural Centre.

Imhoff Tank

The Imhoff Tank is located on a 6.5 hectare site that has housed the City’s wastewater treatment since 1913. Kelowna’s first sewage treatment facility, it consists of a two-part board-formed concrete structure, with a cylindrical Imhoff Tank with an interior Sludge Digestion Chamber and a trough-like Dosing Tank. It is oriented east-west, with the flow originally directed towards Okanagan Lake, and is located on the grounds of the City of Kelowna’s current Wastewater Treatment Facility.

Lewis Residence

The Lewis Residence is a one storey, stucco-clad, vernacular house with a low pitched side-gabled roof and a partial width, front-gabled projection. The house features an open, front-gabled porch with triangular-eave brackets, an internal red-brick chimney and flower boxes below the front-façade windows. It is situated on Water Street on the southern edge of Kelowna’s downtown.

Brunette Residence

The Brunette Residence is a one and one-half storey, wood-frame British Arts and Crafts cottage located on the west side of Water Street, south of downtown Kelowna. The house reflects the picturesque traditions and vernacular revivals in British domestic architecture. It features stucco cladding, two steeply-pitched projecting front gables, with lapped siding at one of the gable peaks, and the consistent use of multi-paned casement windows. The house is set well back from the road and is associated with houses of similar age and style.

Fumerton Residence

The Fumerton Residence is a one-storey Arts and Crafts bungalow distinguished by its front-gabled roofline with multiple gabled projections on the front, east and west elevations. It is located on a prominent corner lot at the intersection of Vimy Avenue and McDougall Street on the southern edge of downtown Kelowna, set amongst homes of similar scale from various periods.

Kelowna Club / Ki-Low-Na Friendship Centre

The Kelowna Club is a one-storey, reinforced concrete structure, designed in the Streamline Moderne style, located on a mid-block site on the north side of Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna. It is set back from the front property line, creating a small plaza in front. The front facade of the Club is recognizable for its theatrical, symmetrical downward curving inset above the main entry and the distinctive central flagpole. A later three-storey addition sits to the west. The Club subsequently moved to another location, and the site is now used as the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Centre.

Minette Residence

The Minette Residence is a one-storey postwar residence with symmetrical massing and smooth stucco cladding at the main elevation; modern flagstone has been added at the basement level. It is situated on the north side of Lawrence Avenue, in the historic Bernard-Lawrence neighbourhood of Kelowna.

Pandosy Mission Cemetery

The Pandosy Mission Cemetery is an early burial ground located in a rural farm setting approximately 300 metres west of the restored buildings of the Oblate Mission on Benvoulin Road, and covering an area of almost 400 square metres. The level, treeless grassed terrain was farmed for a number of years, and no early headstones, grave markers or cemetery features have survived above ground. Excavations have revealed thirteen sub-surface grave features. A stone marker and plaque commemorates the cemetery, which includes the grave of Father Pandosy.
