Originally built as a post office, Heritage Hall has dominated the Mount Pleasant skyline for the most part of the past century. It was designed when expectations where that Main Street would become the centre of Vancouver. This did not happen.

Heritage Hall

Architect: Archibald Hope Campbell

Built as Postal Station “C” in 1916, this impressive stone and brick structure is a landmark in the Mount Pleasant area. The prominent clock tower, classical architectural details and ornate stonework, create this excellent example of Beaux Arts design. The building housed federal agencies such as the Department of Agriculture and the RCMP. It was renovated in 1983 by Downs Archambault & Partners and Baker McGreta Architects under the guidance of Main Source Management Society and renamed Heritage Hall.
