In the old photo taken sometime in the 1950s), the
Richmond Apartments are on the left, the
Devonshire Hotel is in the background. Both are gone now. The old court house remains as does the Hotel Vancouver, a sliver of which can be seen in both photos. Hornby Street appears to be much wider now, possibly due to the construction of
Robson Square across the street, along with the addition of a bike lane a couple of years ago.
