Scope and content

File consists of notes and reproductions relating to Ben Ginter's house. Ben Ginter was a Polish immigrant who grew up in rural Manitoba. He had owned a construction company and later bought the failing Cariboo Brewing. He opened Tartan Brewing in 1962. Ginter began innovating the brewing industry in British Columbia before dying of a heart attack in 1981. He was a controversial figure in Prince George. His house, which was where the now Ginter Park is, was the site of many legendary parties. File primarily consists of newspaper clippings and reproductions discussing the City of Prince George's decision to demolish the building and the controversy surrounding this decision. File also includes photographs depicting the interior and exterior of Ben Ginter's house prior to it being torn down (1997).
