Canadian Northern Railway Station

Erected between 1917 and 1919, this station was built as the western terminus for the Canadian Northern Railway. It is an excellent example of Neoclassical Revival Style design popular for train stations, with a monumental central archway and original steel frame canopy separating symmetrical wings ornamented with engaged columns and pilasters and a bracketed cornice. The station was built on reclaimed land that was originally part of False Creek. In 1993, the building was converted to a multi-modal transportation facility to accommodate both passenger railway and intercity bus travel, and a new bus concourse was built to the east of the station.
