1888: A man takes a break from building the road through Stanley Park to look back at the city. In 1888, Vancouver was a tiny but rapidly growing settlement centred on Gastown. It was almost completely surrounded by forests. On this spot now…
1889: A number of ships have put out their signal flags to celebrate Canada Day on July 1, 1889. After the Canada Pacific Railway arrived in Vancouver in 1887, the city grew at a fantastic pace and ships from all over the world stopped in Vancouver.

1950: Another shot of the skyline with a couple people relaxing on the grass and on the beach in the foreground. After World War II construction on many of the big, modern condo and office towers would soon begin, creating modern Vancouver’s skyline. Today those old buildings are mostly still there, but they are hidden behind a forest of glass and ...
This building, along with the Vancouver Block, the second Hotel Vancouver, and the Hudson’s Bay Company store, all anchored pre-World War I Vancouver at the corner of Granville and Georgia. It was destroyed to make way for the Scotia Tower you see today.
