Description
Also known as the Bodega Rooming House or the Fraser Hotel, the original Bodega Hotel was a wood-framed structure built on this site in 1886 right after the Great Fire of 1886. The hotel was replaced in 1900 by this three-storey commercial masonry building. The Bodega was built for pioneer Vancouver businessman John Badock Lovell.
The Bodega is a surviving design by architect John Wesley Mallory, who practiced briefly in Vancouver during the Klondike years. He left the city in 1901.
In 1993, the Bodega was one of the earliest live-work studio condo conversions in the area, designed by Marshall Fisher Architects.
