As promised, here is Vancouver's first title holder of 'tallest building in the British Empire'. The Dominion building held the title until the World Tower came along.
On the corner is an entrance to a stairway leading to the basement. All the time I was growing up there was a restaurant called Honey Dew down there. I was always intrigued, I guess I thought there was something exotic or mysterious about a restaurant below ground.
I told this chap I might use this pic and gave him the web address but I didn't ask his name. I'll never make it as a journalist.
