Description

Constructed in 1928-29, the building was designed in the Art-Deco style by local architects Townley and Matheson and is listed as a “B” category on the Vancouver Heritage Register. A concrete structure with a plastered finish, this industrial building has been a positive addition to the neighbourhood since it was constructed. The use has remained consistent until today and the building has been occupied by one owner, Canadian Linen Supply Company. Alterations occurred in 1932, 1947 and 1974 . The original water tower was removed but the boiler-room chimney is still intact.
