Description
The Cook Block is a four storey plus lower level brick building built in two parts between 1892 and 1909. There are two adjacent but complementary front facades which face West Cordova Street. Its architecture is an eclectic mix of Italianate, Romanesque and Edwardian elements.
The building is significant for its direct connection to Edward Cook, pioneer Vancouver contractor, land-owner and developer, who was involved in many projects that helped shape the character of Gastown.
