Kelowna - The Historic Laurel Packinghouse

The historic Laurel Packinghouse, a nationally designated heritage landmark, is the oldest and largest standing packinghouse in British Columbia. The Laurel Packinghouse is located in the heart of Kelowna's Cultural District, one block from Lake Okanagan and just steps away from restaurants, hotels, and other attractions and amenities. The Laurel Packinghouse is home to the BC Orchard Industry Museum, among others.

The Laurel Packinghouse was built over the winter of 1917/1918 of bricks made locally from Knox Mountain clay. In 1982, the Laurel Packinghouse was slated for demolition. Largely through the efforts of the Kelowna Museums Society, the building was saved and became Kelowna's first designated heritage building.
