National Harbours Board - 1905
Made by Bob_2006
401 East Waterfront Road, Vancouver, BC. VERY FEW people in Vancouver even know of the existence of the distinctive blue-and-white Flying Angel Seafarer’s Club. This seaport sanctuary is administered by the Anglican Church for seafarers from all over the world. This elaborate building was built in 1906 by the booming British Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading Company to serve as its general offi ce, showroom, and sales centre. Tucked away in a rather obscure spot at what used to be the foot of Dunlevy Avenue, 401 E. Waterfront is today dwarfed by the immense cranes of the Port of Vancouver. Back in Vancouver’s early days, however, its location was considered quite central and convenient to both the railway and the waterfront. BC Mills manufactured prefabricated kit structures (homes, banks, churches, and schools) that, between 1904 and 1910, were shipped to buyers all over western Canada by rail or barge. It guaranteed that buyers would be able to assemble their structures without carpentry skills; the kits came with everything needed for assembly, including numbered, prepainted & insulated panels, and a complete set of instructions. 401 E. Waterfront is arguably the most well-preserved specimen in Vancouver’s remaining BC Mills inventory. This building was designed as a “dream home” to showcase the limitless and elegant possibilities of building with prefab elements. Inside, you will still see the parlour where BC Mills executives courted potential buyers. What is used today as the Flying Angel’s computer room used to be the BC Mills vault. The building’s structure includes support beams that are 47 feet in length. Of the identified BC Mills prefab structures in Vancouver, there are only seven left. They represent an important step in the evolution of wood marketing in BC and in the development of a value-added sector of the BC lumber industry. In 1930 the Vancouver Harbour Commission took over the building as its headquarters. Since 1973 it has been home to the Mission to Seafarers. - Heritage Vancouver
"Stevens' Folly" - 1914

Burrard harbour's first grain elevator, built in 1914 at the foot of Woodland Drive, was Stevens' Folly--the brainchild of local MP H.H. Stevens, who saw the opportunity to the local economy provided by the Panama Canal. The Greater Vancouver Book
