Description
The B.C. Market Company Building is located on what was once part of the old trail along the beach between Gastown and the Hastings Saw Mill. Like the eastern portion of adjacent Water Street, the area became home to food wholesalers, ship chandlers, and logging and mining services when Gastown became the hub of international and intercontinental commercial activity as the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the eastern terminus for trans-Pacific shipping.
