Old Victoria's "metropolitan ambitions" were clearly evident in the BC Permanent Loan Building and the Campbell Building. The former stood at Johnson and Douglas, the latter at Fort and Douglas. I almost feel like crying whenever I come across a picture of either of these buildings.

Is it a coincidence that both of them were destroyed during the heyday of the tourism-oriented "olde England" revisionism of the 1960s and 1970s? 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?
