The run down and condemned Cassidy Inn – May 2016
While the exact age of the Cassidu Inn is uncertain and The Nanaimo Regional District estimates that it was built before 1910, it is certain that the building was used during the filming of the Superman movie Man of Steel.
The production company redid the Cassidy Inn Pub’s floor and added vintage saws, stuffed animals and other Alaskan accoutrements, and trucked in piles of ice shavings from a Nanaimo hockey rink. They further set the scene with parked logging trucks and used snow towers and wind machines.
The other certainty is that The Regional District of Nanaimo has declared the Cassidy Inn Hotel building a hazardous property and ordered the owner demolish it by June 8, 2016.
