Made in U.S.A. View looking west down West Hastings Street into the 500-block from the intersection at Richards Street in Vancouver, BC. Standard Building, 510 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC. Built 1913. Architect: Russell, Babcock, and Rice. "This 15-storey structure, originally called the Weart Building, was the highest single-slab tower in Vancouver: only the two-stage World Building [1912] surpassed it in height. Had the Gothic ornament at the top been executed as elaborately as designed, it would have reflected the fashion just being set by New York's Woolworth Building and anticipated by more than a decade the local adoption of the mode."
