EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, showcases a breathtaking view of Vancouver's Wholesale District and the iconic World Building. Located in British Columbia, Canada, Vancouver was a bustling city during the 1920s, and this image offers a glimpse into its rich history. The Wholesale District, with its numerous warehouses and commercial buildings, was a hub of activity, particularly for the railway industry. In the foreground of the photograph, railway sidings, carriages, wagons, and bogies can be seen, attesting to the district's importance as a transportation hub. Towering above the Wholesale District is the majestic World Building, which opened its doors in 1912. At the time, it was the tallest building in the British Empire, standing proudly at 82 meters (269 ft) tall. The Beaux-Arts style building, with its distinctive steel dome and faux patina, is a testament to the architectural grandeur of the era. The World Building, now known as the Sun Tower, was designed by the renowned architect William Tuff. Its impressive height and unique design made it a symbol of Vancouver's growth and prosperity during the early 20th century. This photograph captures the essence of Vancouver's vibrant past, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural heritage.
