The Marine Building is a skyscraper located at 355 Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia Canada near the Financial District, designed by McCarter Nairne and Partners. It is renowned for its Art Deco details.

The brainchild of Lt. Commander J.W. Hobbs of Toronto, it was opened on 7 October 1930, and at 97.8m (22 floors) it was the tallest skyscraper in the city until 1939.[1] According to the architects, McCarter & Nairne, the building was intended to evoke "some great crag rising from the sea, clinging with sea flora and fauna, tinted in sea-green, touched with gold."[2] The building cost $2.3 million to build -- $1.1 million over budget -- but due to the Great Depression it was sold to the Guinness family of Ireland for only $900,000. The 2004 property assessment is $22 million.

 There was an observation deck, but during the depression in the 1930s the 25 cents admission price proved unaffordable for most. Currently, there are no public galleries in the building.

溫哥華唯一入選前十大美食的中式餐廳 ~海天皇宮

許多人士都非常喜愛的港式點心 晚餐則是單點菜或是選擇性桌菜

以海鮮餐點聞名 論用餐環境  在我去過的中餐館中“海天皇宮”是最好的

論服務品質 “海天皇宮”有專人伺候 周到殷勤 還有代客泊車 得分遙遙領先

論菜肴的刀功及烹飪 相對是最差的.故除非錢多多 不建議花高價在此用晚餐~
