First Church of Christ, Scientist - 1919
Made by Bob_2006
1160 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC. Heritage Value: The former First Church of Christ, Scientist is an important part of Vancouver's heritage and is notable for being a rare example of a building from the First World War era. Architecturally, it is a finely executed example of the Colonial Revival style, uncommon in Vancouver. See photographs in Appendix A. The main exterior heritage features are its street facades, brickwork, side buttress piers, stone detailing and arched window openings and glazing. When the Church was added to the Heritage Register in 1986 in the B category the evaluation did not factor in the added value of the heritage interiors. The most notable interior space is the spacious sanctuary - originally called the auditorium - which occupies the entire upper floor and has only seen minor alterations. The tall arched windows bring light and architectural interest to the north and south walls while a magnificent organ dominates the centre of the east wall. Curved rows of pews are arranged to face the organ. Assembly and services spaces are at the lower level. Internal planning has made good use of the site being book-ended by two street frontages. The Alberni Street entrance leads to the upper level Auditorium, while the West Georgia Street entrance entry leads directly to the lower service level. Both entrance foyers feature brick walls and wooden beamed ceilings of interest. City of Vancouver
