|Banff Apartments
|1201 W. Georgia Street
|Originally Florence Court residential hotel, now rental apartments. The last remaining example of the New York-style posh residential hotels and apartments that once lined West Georgia Street between Thurlow St. and Stanley Park. The building lost some of its original classical detail to modernization attempts in the period between 1940 and 1970. The building was deteriorating through the 1980s and 1990s and suffered a serious fire in October 2002. Since the fire the interior of the building has been completely re-plumbed, re-wired and otherwise restored.
