Historical Background of the White House Wellness Centre
The “big white house” can be found on the same block as the most recognizable landmark in Vernon, the Court House. It was built in 1932 for the manager of the Hudson Bay Company. Over the years it had several owners before Dr. Murray Kievit purchased the building in September, 2004.
The stunning stained glass windows were preserved, and the original maple and fir hardwood refurbished. The rose wood inlay on the floors was carried through into the custom made cabinetry and desks. The "Grand Old Lady" has now been lovingly restored to her former glory, and with a new purpose when "The White House Wellness Centre" opened in September, 2006.

The renovations incorporated the existing architecture with the curved walls in the hallway mimicked in the curved arches and alcoves.
