The St. James' Anglican congregation was established in 1881, five years before the City of Vancouver was incorporated and selected to the Pacific terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
This structure, built between 1935 and 1937, remains an exquisite example of Art Deco in Vancouver.
According to Wikipedia:
The present (and third) church building was designed by Adrian Gilbert Scott who later designed the Church of St. Mary and St. Joseph, Poplar, London, England which has architectural similarities. The building is the second to be built at this location on land donated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its design is a combination of Art Deco, Romanesque Revival, Byzantine Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture. The walls are made of reinforced concrete, while the roof is made of slate. The building was constructed between 1935 and 1937 and consecrated in 1938.
