Marine Building

Marine Building
The magnificent entrance to the Marine Building skyscraper in Downtown Vancouver. It was completed in 1930 and at the time of its opening was the city's tallest skyscraper. At 22 floors it is small in comparison to the modern buildings that surround it but it remains one of the most iconic buildings in Vancouver and listed among the best Art Deco buildings in the world. It owes its name to the many fine marine-themed ornaments that decorate it.  All over the walls and polished brass doors are depictions of sea snails, skate, crabs, turtles, carp, scallops, seaweed and sea horses, as well as the transportation means of the era. Because of its iconic architecture and luscious interior decorations, the building has been chosen as the setting of a number of film and television productions.
