Vancouver landmarks: real and imagined



Original captions: “BURRARD BRIDGE ADDITION: If the City Council’s postwar plans mature, Burrard Bridge will be given a lower deck at a cost of more than $1,000,000. Here is how the big span will look with a low level causeway across which street cars can travel. The project will involve creation of a central pier in the main channel, on which a swing span will be built. Depression and war have postponed plans for a lower deck for 10 years, but the council feels the project will become a reality

May 2, 1948 photo of a model for a Proposed Civic Centre in Vancouver. No address is given but it looks like the Sun Tower is in the upper left corner and the old Province building below it, which puts the civic centre on Pender between Beatty and Homer.

Dec. 5, 1947 proposed underground garage and civic centre. Cutline reads: “Accommodation for 2000 cars will be provided in this four-level underground parking garage, which may be in operation early in 1949. This sketch was prepared by McCarter and Nairne, architects. Columns for the garage can be used for the proposed Civic Centre library.”

Three-stage complex includes 15-storey hotel, garden apartments, club and convention facilities and single family houses.”
