Vancouver B.C.

The Marine Building

architect: McCarter Nairne & Partners

One of the most prominent legacies of Vancouver's growing prosperity. During the 1930's it was the first "modern" skyscraper in the city and tallest until 1939.
- Inspired by New York's Chrysler Building.
- On completion, the Marine Building was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth; a title it held for over a decade.
- In the 2005 hit sci-fi movie Fantastic Four, the Marine Building served as headquarters for the super heroes.
- One of city's first public buildings to exploit art deco.
Here are some links to some great interior photos of the building:
