Bank of Nova Scotia
1196 Granville Street
Designed by architects Sharp and Thompson and completed in 1929,
this bank employs a mix of the Art Deco and Classical Revival styles,
and was one of the grander buildings along Granville Street. Inside,
the light fixtures, cheque table and grill work match the exterior
design. As you walk along the next two blocks, notice the wooden
frame commercial buildings, often with living quarters on the second
floor. Most of these date from the early 1900s, and are little-noticed
survivors of the old Vancouver languishing on the edge of the modern
commercial district.
