On Sunday I went down to the Inner Harbour to take some video of the Harbour Ferry Ballet. I didn't get the video I wanted so I'll have to go back again. Hopefully I'll have a video for you next week. But, I did get some photos of the Steamship Terminal, my personal favorite of the three Rattenbury-designed buildings flanking the Inner Harbour.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I passed by that building so many times. Can you go inside? It always looked like it was empty and closed.
It is a beautiful building.
@William - I think it adds a lot to the Inner Harbour with its classical style.
@JoJo: Yes, the bottom floor is now a restaurant and a Starbucks. There is also a small Robert Bateman gallery and gift shop but I think much of the building (upper floors) is still looking for a tenant. The Ross Crockford article I link to in Thursday's post has some discussion of various possibilities for the building.
I was there two weeks ago. Beautiful building!
