May的生活札記

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.
