William Dick Building

The William Dick Building is valued as an excellent and notably intact example of the Chicago School, representing the late persistence of the influence of the style which had achieved predominance earlier in the century and remained popular as a commercial style until the onset of the Great Depression.

Additionally, the building is significant for its association with William Dick, who owned British Columbia Estates, a successful local real estate development company, and who later served as a Conservative MLA. Dick was also a prosperous Vancouver clothier, and commissioned this building for use as a clothing store.
