As promised, a photo from the interior of the Marine Building in Vancouver. This was taken from the second floor, looking out through a geometric cutout opening onto the decorative molding around the upper part of the lobby. I would have liked to spend a lot more time in this building & taken a lot more photos, but we were on a guided walking tour & we needed to keep up with the group. I have a few more photos, but since I was somewhat rushed & there were a lot of people in the way, I wasn't too happy with them. If I find any more worth posting, I will. If any of you ever visit Vancouver, I would definitely recommend this 90 minute tour. It's free (though tips are appreciated & were generously offered by our group) & run under the name Tour Guys. Our guide was an attractive & vivacious young woman named Lauren, who had recently graduated from the University of British Columbia with a major in history & she had many interesting & entertaining stories to tell. The following description of the lobby is from the Vancouver History website "The lobby, small as it is, is a masterpiece. There are five elevators, their doors of solid brass intricately and interestingly designed. There was a time when five uniformed young women stood beside them, each carefully chosen for her beauty. The elevators were the fastest in the city at 700 feet a minute, at a time when 150 feet a minute was the norm. Above the elevators (with their interior walls of intricately inlaid hardwood of 12 different kinds) small plasterwork ships burst out of waves set into the lobby walls—the boats support the lobby's lights. Daylight streams through a big stained window at one end of the lobby. The ceiling—and what a ceiling it is—looks as if it might once have been part of the set of a Cecil B. DeMille movie. (In fact, although we haven’t been able to winkle out his name yet, we’re told the man who designed it went to Hollywood and became a set designer.)" Several movies have filmed scenes here as follows: "It was the setting for the final scene in the movie, Timecop. Recently, the building has gained notice as the Daily Planet headquarters in the popular television show Smallville. The building was used in the movie Blade: Trinity. It stood in for the Baxter Building in New York City in 2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer." Better zoomed...
