Description

The Vernon Building, listed as a Category “C” building on the Vancouver Heritage Register, was designed by notable Vancouver architects Townley and Matheson, who also designed Vancouver City Hall. The original portion of the Vernon Building was constructed in 1930 with a full basement, ground floor and a second storey that occupied approximately 30% of the footprint area. The partial second floor was located in the southeast corner of the site. The remainder of the second floor was constructed at a later date.
