Located on the north bank of the Columbia River, in sight of snowy mountain peaks and a vibrant urban landscape, this park has a rich cultural past. From a frontier fur trading post, to a powerful military legacy, the magic of flight, and the origin of the American Pacific Northwest, history is shared at four unique sites composing the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. This document completes the research necessary to produce an authentic reconstruction of the Fur Store as it existed during the heyday of this western headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company on the Columbia River, c. 1845, and prepares the way for the production of construction drawings and contract documents for its physical reconstruction. The Fur Store shall constitute a major exhibit in place. The building, during the historic period being depicted, was used for receiving pelts, processing, storage, classifying, and handling the furs for shipment. It is proposed to display and reenact these activities at this building.
