This is an iconic Art Deco skyscraper famed for its nautical-themed ornaments. It was completed in 1930 and at the time the city's tallest building. The building was given distinct sea-green and gold coloration, with marine flora and fauna motifs. It was envisioned to reflect Vancouver's growing importance as a port after the Panama Canal opening. Pic credited to James Crookall.
