#BalmoralHotel on #EastHastings close to Gastown, opened in 1912 as a #HighClass #hotel for wealthy travellers. Chicago style elements of the hotel w/grid façade & massive overhang, were common on buildings built in the early #1900s in #Vancouver . #Neon sign on building was designed in 1940 by #NeonProducts, local company; in 1950s it was one of the biggest neon sign producers in the world.
