52-60 E Hastings St

The Shaldon Hotel building was begun in 1908. It was originally to have been called the Empress Hotel, but by the time the building was finished in 1909 it was called the Wright Building and the Grand Central Rooms. It was named after its owner, H D Wright of Seattle, and was designed by H B Watson. Over the years it became the St James Hotel, the Wilbur Rooms, the Windsor Hotel, and is now the Shaldon Hotel.

In 2008, the Shaldon Hotel was bought by BC Housing and received a new roof. Further renovations are still to come in its continuing role as housing for low income residents. Raincity Housing manages this 54 unit building. Residents are encouraged to become more involved in their community both inside and outside the building.
