<札記‧歷史建築> Maxine’s Hideaway @西尾區(West End)
Maxine’s Hideaway is renovated historic building. It was demolished and replaced with The Alexandra, a 21-storey rental and condo tower (completed 2014). However, its distinctive facade was retained and incorporated into the ground level commercial space.
In 1940, Lort expanded the building by adding a two-storey eastern section with a curvilinear parapet, curved "Baroque" gable, and mission bell. The picturesque facade represents a style rarely seen in Vancouver.
Notable elements in the building's front included the three Gothic arches at ground level, round-arched windows and main entry, metal tile parapet, and metal tile roof overhangs with exposed rafters.

<札記‧歷史建築> Holly Lodge @西尾區(West End)
Holly Lodge was designed in the Second Renaissance Revival style by Wright, Rushforth and Cahill and constructed in 1910-1911. A building permit for April 1910 lists its value as $100,000. The owner was Pacific Investment Corp. Ltd.
This building clearly illustrates the high density to which West End apartments were built during the Edwardian era. It features a superior use of metal bays, and inset angled windows.
