1. Saint Peter's -- Revelstoke's Pioneer Church Marker

Inscription. Built in 1896, St. Peter's is Revelstoke's only surviving pioneer church. It and the brick rectory beside it stand much as they were at the turn of the century. The Hall was added in 1931. Anglican services in Revelstoke date from April 1885 when the legendary Father Pat led worship in the Columbia House Hotel. An early supporter of the church was Lord Revelstoke of C.P.R. fame. St. Peter's was solemnly consecrated by the Bishop on September 4, 1898. The bell which has rung from the tower since 1900 is inscribed: "o ye mountains and hills, Bless ye the Lord, Alleluia !"
