Deutchesland Café
City of Vancouver
Heritage Building
Deutchesland Café
Architect: Max B. Downing
This unusual 1933 gem is one of the few surviving Art Deco buildings in downtown Vancouver. Its roofline features an exuberant crenelated cornice built in cast concrete and designed in a curvilinear waterfall theme. Downing is best known as the architect of the Art Deco Federal Buildings in Prince Rupert and Powell River. The original owner of this building was the nearby Hudson’s Bay Company, and it was tenanted by the Deutchesland Café until 1939.
