Here's a look at Heritage Hall at 3102 Main St in 1917 and 2020.
This towering Mount Pleasant landmark was originally built in 1915 as the south Vancouver post office.
Its ornate (by Vancouver standards) design is described as "a competent and quite sophisticated exercise in Beaux Arts Classicism and has outstanding architectural value."
The original photo was taken from above street level, so the shots don't line up perfectly.
