About the Building that Looks Like a Flatiron
Architecture enthusiasts will probably find interest at the Hotel Europe in the Gastown neighborhood in Vancouver. This is a building that reminds of the Flatiron and was built between 1908-1909 on a triangle piece of land.
The flat hotel has 6 floors. The building was planned by the architecture firm Parr and Fee. It was built in a style that reminds of the Flatiron building in New York, maybe the most famous triangle building in the world.
This building was commissioned by the hotelier Angelo Calori in 1908, only 6 years after the first building in the world was built from reinforced concrete, and this was the first building to be built out of this in Canada.
