Built in 1905 in the neo baroque style (1600's).  It was Vancouver's post office until 1958.  The bell tower is neo-classical and baroque style.  It is now made of 4 buildings joined together by glass and steel to form a mall and office space.  During the great depression 750 men sat in protest for 4 weeks until the unemployed got jobs.
