Description: "C. P. R. Hotel, Vancouver, B. C." Published by W. G. MacFarlane, Toronto and Buffalo. Printed in Germany. View of the original CPR Hotel Vancouver, with additions, on the SW corner of West Georgia and Granville Streets in Vancouver, BC, circa-1908. The corner, "simplified chateau style" structure was the original hotel, built 1886-87 (Thomas Sorby, architect). The addition to the south, along Granville Street (left), was built in 1893-94. The western addition, in an Italian Renaissance palazzo style (right), was built 1901-05 (Francis M. Rattenbury, architect). Most of the buildings were replaced by the second CPR Hotel Vancouver structure (built 1913-16). Only Rattenbury's west-side corner structure (at Georgia and Howe Sts.) was incorporated into the new project.
