The northeast corner of Delta and Chisholm streets at one time had a big building that was a real hub for Ladner.

It included the Riverview Hotel with Dinty Moore as custodian. The south half of the building contained McNeely Hall, where dances, concerts, meetings and early movie shows were held. It was used as a hospital during the flu epidemic in 1918. This photo from around 1913 shows people enjoying a dance at the hall.
