This 1886 warehouse is the
oldest brick building in Vancouver. Originally a food warehouse owned by the Oppenheimer brothers (one of whom became Vancouver's second
mayor), it also served as City Hall, jail and morgue for a time right after the Great Fire. Over the years additions have made the building taller and longer. Musician Bryan Adams
bought it in 1991 and turned it into a recording studio, featuring acts such as
Michael Buble,
Billy Joel,
Slayer and others.
