Description
Other names: Gastown Inn, Cambie Hostel, Henderson Block, Hotel Carlton
The Cambie Hotel was built in 1899-1900 to replace a building occupied by Gross and McNeil Express and Draymen, which had been burned in a fire in 1899.
The building was designed by well-known Vancouver architects Parr and Fee. The building represents a new commercial style influenced by developments in Chicago. The plain brick piers and cast-iron window units depart from traditional styles.
In 1914, it became the Hotel Carlton and was known for its cafe at ground level.
