Second Ferguson Block
6 Powell Street
Railway tunnel contractor A.G. Ferguson constructed the present
Ferguson Block between 1886-90. A wood-frame structure, also owned
by Ferguson, stood on the site before the fire of 1886. The CPR
land office and a dry goods store were tenants in both buildings.
Imagine the traffic at the land office as speculators gambled on
the city's future!
