The British Ensign Hotel is built by Edward Cutler from whip-sawn lumber and hand cut nails. Serving as a hotel for sportsmen, The British Ensign quickly becomes a regular stopping point forstagecoaches travelling to Sooke, as well as "a quiet retreat for those unmarried, who require a littleprivacy."
During these early times, the building saw a wide array of functions: it served as atemporary school, performed church services, and even received the scar of a bullet hole after a disputewith rail workers that had been working on the Canadian National Railway. Eventually this popular landmark becomes known as the 17 Mile House Pub, as it is located 17 miles from Victoria City Hall.
