Dismantled and moved to Golden were the courthouse that September and the jail in November. The bell from the abandoned St. Peter's Anglican church building at Donald was taken for installation on St. Paul’s Anglican Church at Golden. Revelstoke, which lacked an Anglican church building was promised the Donald one. However, Rufus Kimpton, who had relocated to Windermere, had other ideas. After being transported south, the church building was reassembled on a hill overlooking Lake Windermere. Despite protests, Windermere did not get the 'stolen' bell nor Revelstoke the 'stolen' building. One night in 1957, the bell was retrieved by the Windermere congregation but soon returned. In 1900, the IOOF hall, which was initially expected to go to Golden, instead went to Revelstoke Votes cast at Donald in the provincial election numbered 12 that year, compared with 62 in 1898. The school permanently closed in 1901. The Presbyterian church building went to Field in 1902. Ferry, bridges, and roads In 1884, the province put out to tender the franchise to operate a ferry across the Columbia for five years. A ferry existed in 1884, but it is unclear for how long it continued. Assumedly, after its termination, people used either private boats or the CP bridge to cross the river. By 1897, the Donald–Golden wagon road was nearing completion. The subsidized small cable ferry installed in 1921 was replaced by larger scow in 1922/23. An unspecified new ferry was built in 1926/27 and a new 3-ton capacity pontoon in 1936/37. After the Golden–Lake Louise road opened in 1927, CP carried motorists' vehicles as freight on flatcars between Revelstoke and Golden. Construction of the Big Bend Highway spanned 1929–1940, which on opening provided a seasonal highway link via the east bank of the Columbia from Donald to Revelstoke. The ferry continued to be subsidized until 1944/45 but the 1940 highway opening likely diminished traffic. The successor highway through Rogers Pass opened in 1962. The two-lane highway bridge across the Columbia was built at this time. The new four-lane structure spanning the CP line and the river opened in 2012. Northwest of Donald, a remnant of the Big Bend Highway is a forestry services road.
