Qualicum Beach Time Capsule: Morgan Hotel

Presented by the Qualicum Beach Museum

Garth Morgan came to Qualicum in 1915 and was the Quartermaster for the Military Convalescent Hospital until 1919 when it reverted to the Qualicum Beach Hotel. He bought a property on Burnham Road from the Qualicum Water Company. This property did not have a covenant prohibiting its use as a hotel, as did the properties controlled by the Qualicum Beach Hotel. He built the Morgan Hotel in about 1923. In the early 1950s the hotel was sold and became the Qualicum Arms Hotel. It had two owners up until 1969 when Jack and Joan Collins bought it. They ran it for four years then sold it to the Donovans from Port Alberni. It continued to be run as a hotel until 1979 when it was converted to a private home. The building was recently demolished.
