After Dark 2 - The Robert Bateman Centre


Here's another Rattenbury design, formerly the Canadian Pacific Railway Steamship Terminal. Now the building houses a restaurant on the main floor with upper floors devoted to prints and paintings of Robert Bateman, a contemporary artist now resident on nearby Saltspring Island. It provides a dramatic contrast to the Legislative Assembly Building pictured in yesterday's post.

  2. I'd love to go in sometime. He lived for many years not that far from where I grew up, until he went west.
