Description
The London Hotel consists of three adjoining heritage buildings built between 1903 and 1910. A classical dentilled cornice unites the building composition.
Constructed in two stages, the building’s heritage significance is represented by its use and its architecture. The building demonstrates a historical pattern of mixed uses typical for this part of downtown Vancouver, with the service, retail and residential uses serving primarily a population of male workers involved in seasonal resource industries (logging, fishing).
Until recently, the building had a pub on its ground level. The site is now occupied by a restaurant. This change has meant that the previously blanked out windows have been returned to glass.
