Reflection in a window of The Hudson Bay architectural design.
New Name ~ The Hudson
Heritage Value
This 1914 building is a manifestation of the Hudson's Bay Company's modern image in the early twentieth century. The architecture of this building is important as an example of the trademark idiom utilized by the HBC's architects (Burke, Hallwood, and White of Toronto). It is significant that this building is essentially identical to other contemporary Hudson's Bay department stores from Vancouver to Winnipeg; it was this palatial design with its terra cotta decorative elements which was chosen to establish architectural permanence, and to portray the luxury, grandeur, and modernity of Canada's most successful and oldest company. The combination of modern symmetry enriched with classical detail is purely Georgian Revival, and is unique within Victoria, BC.
