Belmont Building

Built in 1904 as a family dwelling, store, and apartment for John Spooner (although he never lived here), this was one of the last buildings designed for Vancouver by William Blackmore, one of the city’s earliest and most prolific architects. At the time of construction, this was largely a residential area, so this building represents the transition from residential to residential/commercial.

In 1905, the Belmont Building became the offices of W.A. Brown plumber; he remained in that location until the 1920s. The site then became a confectionery – Home Confectionary – a use that continued until the 1980s. The building also provided rooms for rent from 1905 until the 1980s.
