Unfortunately I can not include a picture of the scale of the Buffalo and Moose heads that encircled the building near the top but the one I have shows four men sitting on the top of a Buffalo head. Instead we got the boring in comparison semi Art Deco ” chateau style” third one. Lets not forget the many 1920’s era mansions in Shaughnessy nor the Wall corp desecration of the Shannon Estate with its 30,000sqft mansion, gardens, fountains and ponds. We used to climb up to the foot top to view Richmond and beyond to Mt. Baker when abandoned.

I think eighteen months before the Scotiabank/Scotia Tower building on West Georgia was built I was watching a movie at the Strand Theatre on West Georgia. There was once upon a time when entertainment centres and restaurants were built with next to no parking in mind. In Chicago, Wrigley Field and in Boston, Fenway Park are good examples.
