Horne Block
311 West Cordova Street
The builder of this block was a speculator in the early Vancouver
real estate market. James W. Horne made a fortune investing in Winnipeg
real estate before moving on to Vancouver in 1885. He commissioned
architect N.S. Hoffar to design this building which was completed
in 1889. The elegant Horne Block once had a domed tower over the
Juliet balcony at the corner.
