Where is this current or former British Columbia court house building located?

image here

Apologies for the crappy picture quality, I'm pretty restricted in my equipment.

All I know about the building is that it is a current or former court house, and it is located in British Columbia.

You can't see it in the poor photo, but there appears to be snow on the ground. Could be northern BC?

If its an active courthouse, its tiny and is thus in a tiny town. If it is a former court house, it is likely of historical significance, since it hasn't yet been turned into a strip mall.

Do you share a postal code with this building? If so... where!

Maybe the BC Courthouse Libraries can help or direct you? They focus on supporting lawyers, but they should be able to direct you to archives too.

Response by poster: I should note that in the interests of full disclosure:

A) I am a lawyer, and
B) its a silly trivia contest put on by the Canadian Bar Association BC Branch in apparent association with the BC Courthouse Library Society, so I'm not sure they'd just cough up the answer!

Best answer: It's a former court house now serving as the city hall of Greenwood, BC ( "the smallest city in Canada").

I will now collect my 100 internet points, please.

Best answer: For the sake of completeness, here's their official website. Bonus fact: apparently, it was used in the movie Snow Falling on Cedars.

Also, I have no connection to nor prior knowledge of this place. I found it by searching for bc "former courthouse" hotel. Go figure.
