BC Securities Building

Built in 1911-12, the British Columbia Securities Building is valued as a commercial structure that characterized the drastic economic upswing in British Columbia immediately preceding the First World War.

With the arrival of the Great Northern Railway, followed by the Canadian Northern Pacific and the extension of the British Columbia Electric Railway interurban line into the Fraser Valley, the city witnessed an unprecedented wave of land speculation and commercial development.
