Walking Tour: Yaletown

Building now demolished

#16

Sebring Auto/Letter Carrier Depot #75  ("The Automotive")

1085–1095 Homer Street

The long, low lines of this building reflect the "streamline" moderne style. Efforts to design aerodynamic automobiles influenced its smooth, streamlined profile. This building and the next were designed to house the kind of light industry that city planners hoped to attract to the area with the 1929 zoning changes.
