Description
146 West Hastings is an eight-storey Edwardian commercial building built in 1908 to house the Vancouver Stock Exchange.
The architects were John S. and Maurice Helyer, who also erected the Dominion Building across Victory Square.
The building also housed financial agents, accountants, real estate agents and architects. As the business centre shifted west, the financial tenants left this building and it was used for a succession of smaller businesses. In 1917, this became the home of the Province newspaper.
The building is now named Regal Place, this building is operated by the Portland Hotel Society as housing and support for Downtown Eastside residents.
