The first level was used as a social lounge, while the second and third floors were used as formal meeting rooms. Sometime during these years, panelling was added to the second and third floors, primarily for aesthetic and insulation purposes(Gerald R. Boucher. A History of the Nanaimo Bastion and Its Keepers. p. 16). 1910-1928: Interior: Structural changes with additions were done. Another layer of wall board was added to the second and third floors (Gerald R. Boucher. A History of the Nanaimo Bastion and Its Keepers. p. 19). 1928-1974: Exterior: In the late 1940's the Native Sons added driftwood stairs and a flag staff in the second floor doorway. In addition, the rope pulls from the second floor were removed. Interior: The third floor gun ports were covered and museum displays were put in. A fourth layer of panelling was also put on the third floor (Gerald R. Boucher.A History of the Nanaimo Bastion and Its Keepers. p. 20). 1974: In conjunction to the city's Bastion Square Project, the Bastion was moved to its current site (Gerald R. Boucher.
