Built in 1892 by BX agent Stephen Tingley, with the help form his son Clarence. The BX Barn was constructed as part of the Barnard Express pioneer transportation company, later named the British Columbia Express Company, The company would rent horses, two horse wagons called a jerky or four to six horse wagons, to those needing transportation through to the gold fields of the north. Once the customer reached a different BX Barn, they would stop for a rest and switch horses before continuing on their way. In the beginning the horses came from Oregon, then California and Mexico. Then later they were bought locally or shipped from the nearer provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. A large BX stable was also built by Tingley in 1892 to house Clydesdales; however, it burned down around 1906.
