UPDATE 7 P.M.

One of the oldest buildings in Kelowna has been destroyed by flames.

Fire crews are at the Brent Grist Mill site at the base of Dilworth Mountain, and have said that one of the historic buildings has been destroyed by flames.

The Fleming House is a rare surviving structure from the 1870s, when there was a recession throughout the province and little construction occurred, according to the City of Kelowna.

The large two-storey house was built in 1871 of large squared logs up to 35 centimeters high by 17 centimeters thick. The site was acquired by John Dilworth in 1900, and prior to 1908 he installed milled siding on the house and added plaster walls on the inside, indicating the pattern of improvements made to pioneer houses as the settlers prospered and more refined materials and techniques became locally available.

In recent years the heritage site has needed a great deal of repair and has been known to be a preferred site for transient populations pitching tents.
