The Art Deco Marine Building opened on 7 October 1930, and at 97.8 metres (321 ft / 22 floors) it was the tallest skyscraper in the city, and in Western Canada, until 1939.
According to the architects, McCarter & Nairne, the building was intended to evoke “some great crag rising from the sea, clinging with sea flora and fauna, tinted in sea-green, touched with gold.”
