EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene on Hastings Street in Vancouver, Canada, in the year 1919. The image showcases the vibrant energy and activity of the city's commercial hub, with people of all ages and backgrounds going about their daily business. The photograph was taken in front of the imposing Standard Bank Building, a testament to the architectural grandeur of the time. The Standard Bank Building, located at the corner of Hastings and Granville Streets, was a prominent landmark in Vancouver's business district. Constructed between 1911 and 1913, it was designed by the renowned architectural firm, Parr and Fee, in the Beaux-Arts style. The building's grandeur is evident in its ornate facade, with its intricate stonework, tall columns, and large arched windows. At the time of this photograph, Hastings Street was the heart of Vancouver's commercial district. The street was lined with a variety of stores, shops, and offices, catering to the diverse needs of the city's growing population. The area was also home to many theatres, hotels, and restaurants, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and character of Vancouver during the early 20th century. It captures the spirit of a thriving city, full of energy, progress, and optimism, as it continued to grow and evolve.
