Before The Empire State Building: The Marine Building
This is arguably the #1 Art Deco skyscraper in Canada and was completed even prior to the Empire State Building. The Marine Building at 355 Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was completed in the fall of 1930 and was for a brief time, the tallest building in the British Empire. The design and functional art in this building is amazing and a must see for architecture fans.
It has been used in many Hollywood films and television series due to it's unique look.
They don't make buildings like this anymore folks!!

Vintage Montgomery-Kone Traction elevators @ the Marine Building, Vancouver, British Columbia
Very nice Vintage historic traction elevators in the Marine Building at Burrard and Hastings in downtown Vancouver British Columbia. A view of a smaller elevator that just serves the top 3 floors is now locked off since the last time I saw it. I wish I could have recorded that elevator 20 years ago when it was still available to ride without key access. I have also included some images I took of the building after getting caught off gaurd in the elevator by a woman who asked me if I was taking pictures of the building. I should have responded differently! :)

Crafted Vancouver Balvenie After Hours Series - Marine Building
From whisky beginner to seasoned aficionado, there was something for everyone in this immersive experience.
Jamie Johnson, John Atkin and Brad Turner hosted an exclusive tasting event accompanied by talks on the crafted interiors of a beloved Vancouver building and the design process behind Brad’s glass work and the whisky glasses you will be tasting from.
The Balvenie’s National Brand Ambassador, Jamie Johnson guided us through their signature handcrafted offerings from The Balvenie. We learned the history of single malt and how The Balvenie maintains its tradition of whisky making from grain to glass. The Balvenie is the only company of its kind still making its Scotch by hand, using centuries-old techniques.
Vancouver civic historian John Atkin gave a talk on the history and craftsmanship of the iconic Marine Building.
2017 Carter Wosk Award Recipient Brad Turner has designed and created the 4-glass sets that were used for the evening tastings.
The tablescape featured select items from master metal artist Stefanie Dueck.
Constructed in 1929, the Marine Building is an Art Deco jewel on the skyline of Vancouver. With its conspicuous location at Burrard and Hastings Street, the terra cotta ornament festooning the exterior to the extraordinary lobby, the Marine Building lived up to its builder’s intent of creating the finest office building on the west coast. Our event with Balvenie takes place in the lobby with its towering ceilings, tile work and ornate brass elevators.

Vancouver, British Columbia - Gastown Steam Clock Chimes HD (2014)
Gastown is a national historic site in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the northeast end of Downtown adjacent to the Downtown Eastside.[1][2] Its historical boundaries were the waterfront (now Water Street and the CPR tracks), Columbia Street, Hastings Street, and Cambie Street, which were the borders of the 1870 townsite survey, the proper name and postal address of which was Granville, B.I. (Burrard Inlet). The official boundary does not include most of Hastings Street except for the Woodward's and Dominion Buildings, and stretches east past Columbia St., to the laneway running parallel to the west side of Main Street.
Gastown's most famous (though nowhere near oldest) landmark is the steam-powered clock on the corner of Cambie and Water Street. Built to cover a steam grate, part of Vancouver's distributed steam-heating system, the clock was built as a way to harness the steam and to prevent street people from sleeping on the spot in cold weather. Its original design was faulty and it had to be powered by electricity after a breakdown. The steam mechanism was completely restored with the financial support of local businesses as it had become a major tourist attraction, and is promoted as a heritage feature although it is of modern invention. The steam used is low pressure downtown-wide steam heating network (from a plant adjacent to the Georgia Viaduct) that powers a miniature steam engine in its base, in turn driving a chain lift. The chain lift moves steel balls upward, where they are unloaded and roll to a descending chain. The weight of the balls on the descending chain drives a conventional pendulum clock escapement, geared to the hands on the four faces. The steam also powers the clock's sound production as whistles are used instead of bells to produce the Westminster chime and to signal the time.
The Gastown Steam Clock appears on the cover of the 2011 Nickelback album Here and Now.
Italian Canadians as Enemy Aliens: WWII - Marine Building (formerly Italian Consulate) Vancouver
On June 10, 1940, Italy declared war against Great Britain and her allies. Immediately, Canadian PM Mackenzie King declared the arrests and internment of all residents of Italian origin considered a threat to the safety of the State. Mass arrests of Italian Canadians took place nationwide. 700 were interned in camps from 1940-1945. Around 30, 000 were listed as enemy aliens and many were fingerprinted, photographed, and ordered to report monthly to the RCMP.
VIDEO: This is the Marine Building, where in 1940 the Italian Consulate office was located at. N. Cavell, then the secretary, remembers the day she was asked by her boss to burn papers in the basement's furnace. To watch the full interview, visit the project's website (launching Mar. 31, 2012)
