City of Vancouver Heritage Building

— Architect: Richard T. Perry —

Built in 1929 for the brokerage firm S.W. Randall Company, this commercial building is a good example of the design of the city's downtown office development at the time of the Great Depression. The brick cladding is enriched by the terra cotta paneling on the lower levels of the important Georgia Street facade. Sam Randall was also a thoroughbred race promoter who operated racetracks at Hastings Park in the 1920s and Lansdowne Park in Richmond (1924-45). In 1991 the building was rehabilitated and the penthouse added by the owner, Jeweller Toni Cavelti, and his architects Blewett Dowd Ching Lee.
