Art Deco

The Marine Building in downtown Vancouver:


Once the tallest building in the British Empire, it enjoys a special heritage status as an internationally acclaimed example of Art Deco Architecture.
Completed in 1930, the main lobby has an ornate marble flooring depicting the twelve signs of the zodiac.
These are the front doors.....



Inside the walls are panelled with 12 different types of Britsh Columbia hardwoods.


One of the elevators-with the door open.



Neat, eh?
