Vancouver History: 1915-1930 Style
Art Deco Chic, the latest exhibit from the Museum of Vancouver, opens March 7, 2012 and I am currently doing a ticket giveaway for opening night. In conjunction with this, I thought it would be fun to browse the Vancouver Archives and preview some historic style from Vancouver’s earlier years.

Hard to believe these were from our own Vancouver….almost seems like they came out of an old Hollywood movie 🙂
