The bottom floor was used as administration for the Homes for the Aged, until Valleyview was completed in 1959, when they moved the offices into the new building. Unknown when the nurses stopped living there.<br />
Another example of the diverse uses to which the buildings were put at Riverview, as a need arose, the hospital could quickly adapt a building to a new use. <br />

This building was used for geriatric care after 1959 until it was closed in 1991, its last use being as a "Tea Room" located in the far left on the ground floor in this photo.<br />

Thanks to Anna Tremere, for searching her notes to find out where Nurses No.9 was, it was the only location I could not find mention of.<br />

BISCO is the <a href="http://boys-industrial-school-coquitlam.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Boys Industrial School of Coquitlam</a>, the English tudor-style cottages were originally built for them, but in the 1950's they were moved to Brannan Lake on Vancouver Island, but prior to this in 1936 the Cottage style buildings were transferred over to the Homes for the Age, and the boys were moved into a much smaller area on the grounds.niftyniallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16889079546931648669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872417218723387534.post-89693288923057053112007-09-27T17:44:00.000-07:002015-07-08T01:22:29.445-07:00Valleyview 300<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cEScxZpnfXE/RvxPjAc8E1I/AAAAAAAAAOg/xDdqXTSYTuQ/s1600-h/IMG_3911.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115050739621434194" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cEScxZpnfXE/RvxPjAc8E1I/AAAAAAAAAOg/xDdqXTSYTuQ/s400/IMG_3911.JPG" /></a> Opening ceremonies May 22,1959<br />

This building was always dedicated to the senior population; and through the years various students studied and created numerous reports, usually as part of their social science degrees.<br /> From custodial care to rehabilitation : the <a href="https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/37163" target="_blank">changing philosophy at Valleyview Hospital</a><br />
