A very interesting historical building to explore. Built in 1930, it's considered one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the world. The design is impressive and well preserved, definitely must see for anyone interested in history and architecture!
Impressed by this magnificent art deco building. It's like being transported to the 1930's by a time machine the moment you enter.
Architecturally brilliant. You don't get rhis character from the built environment any more anywhere. This is a beautiful space, so ecstatic that it has been retained in it's original style. The craftsmanship would have to be appreciated by most and surely will be a part of the walking tour that anyone visiting Vancouver must take in. Loved even just walking through the foyer and imagining the history of the era.
The Marine Building in Vancouver is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture. Built in 1930, it features intricate marine-themed details, beautiful brass elevators, and an opulent lobby. Though it’s primarily used as an office space, the impressive lobby is open to visitors. A must-see for architecture enthusiasts!
If you love Art Deco, pop into this 1930s office building near the water. It’s open to the public to see the architecture inside. Most of the design is in the lobby and don’t sleep on going inside one of the elevators. There are a few shops in the basement. Restrooms are in the basement but they aren’t open to the public unless you ask a shop owner to let you in.
