When that original utopian settlement, called Sampola, broke up for a variety of reasons in 1912, the land holdings were sold off to individual families but the acre which now holds the Sampo hall was given to the first Finnish Club which was called the Socialist Club. Difficulty in meeting the costs of upkeep lead to ownership being transferred from the local Finnish club to the Vancouver branch which funded some restoration work. Finally, after 68 years of ownership by the Finns, the hall was sold in 1984 to Alex and Priya Kucher who maintained the hall and made it available to the Webster’s Corners community until their deaths.  At present, the hall is vacant. The last tenant was Children's Country Corner daycare. *** Demolished in November 2019 *** Read the whole history: http://mapleridgem....org/?s=Sampo+hall  Media Coverage  Future Plans It is for sale; could be yours for a cool $1 000 000.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries September 2017 Sat, Sep 30th, 2017 posted by -Rio- 24 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://mapleridgem....org/?s=Sampo+hall  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
