This image was marked as 1895, however, 29 West Hastings was only constructed in 1910, so this must be from around that date.



This image, looking west, is dated from 1912. The BC Electric Building is now on the corner and powerlines seem to have been either moved to the alley, or supplied underground.



This image is also from 1912 showing a vibrant night scene, looking east. Allen's Café was the first business to be established at 29 West Hastings.
