| Hudson's Bay Department Store | 640 Granville Street |
The Hudson's Bay Company (chartered 1670) built this department store at the intersection of West Georgia and Seymour (the part in shadow in the photograph) and also along Granville, then filled in the corner of West Georgia and Granville by replacing older buildings (the joins being seamless and visible only by the slightest difference in the shade of the terra cotta), and finally made an addition in simplified style along Seymour in the Downtown Vancouver area. The same architectural building is also found in the Hudson's Bay stores in the cities of Victoria, Calgary and Winnipeg. | 1913 1926 1950 |
