Description
The Pender Hotel was built in 1913 for Storey and Campbell as a residential building originally called the Palmer Rooms. The developers were Jonathan Storey and Roderick Campbell, Jr., the owners of the Storey and Campbell Co., whose large distribution warehouse was located just up the street and around the corner at 518 Beatty Street. The building’s primary use was as lodging rooms on the upper floor, with retail space at ground level.
The building is currently owned and operated by the Vancouver Native Housing Society (VNHS). It provides 24 shelter rate apartments for Aboriginal people at risk of homelessness, and two social enterprises that support the Society’s mission and financial sustainability.
