From the Steveston iVillage website:

Originally built as the Northern Bank, Steveston's first Photo of the Steveston Museum and Post Office bank, in 1905, the prefabricated building was selected by bank officials from the BC Mills Timber and Trading Co. catalogue. It was then shipped down the Fraser River by barge from New Westminster.

The Northern Bank later amalgamated with Crown Bank of Toronto, and became the Northern Crown Bank, which in 1918, was absorbed by the Royal Bank of Canada that retained ownership until 1963, when the bank moved across the street to its current location. From 1963 to 1977 it housed Dr. J.M. Campbell's medical practice. After extensive restoration, it opened in 1979 as the Steveston Museum and Post Office.
