Ford Building

193 East Hastings Street

Originally named the Dawson Building, this Commercial-style structure housed a variety of offices when it was completed in 1911. By that time, it was one of the few new office buildings going up east of Cambie Street as the downtown core had been shifting west of Main Street towards Granville Street since the early 1900s. The building was designed by architects Bedford Davidson and Son. A renovation and conversion to residential accommodation was designed by Adolph Ingre and Associates for the Affordable Housing Advisory Association and completed in 1985.
