| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome building architecture building complex outdoor black and white North side of Georgia Street across the street from the Provincial Courthouse and the then-new Hotel Vancouver in November 1944. The buildings, from right to left, are the Hotel Georgia (built 1926-27, still extant), the Devonshire Hotel (1925, demolished 1981) and the Georgia Medical-Dental Building (1929, demolished 1989). For many years, these blocks on Georgia Street (between Burrard and Seymour Sts.) lent a high-end, classy feel to this part of downtown Vancouver. Beyond the Georgia Medical-Dental Building is Christ Church Cathedral (built 1889-95, still extant) and, on the other side of Burrard Street, the Standard Oil gas station where now stands the Royal Centre complex (built 1971-72).
