City's first skyscraper |
355 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 2G8 +1 604 683 8604 http://www.execu-suites.com/building.html |
This fabulous art deco building amid downtown's square steel uniformity is an ornate sight to behold. Designer JW Hobbs wanted to transpose the architectural grandeur of New York City to then-modest Vancouver, and he did so with terracotta, steel, brass, marble, intricate nautical details, gargoyles, murals and an impressive 40-foot archway entrance. The 25-story Marine Building was built in the late 1920s and now serves as an office building. It is set right at the harbour's edge, with the North Shore Mountains towering just beyond it.
