Good Friday procession, Vancouver 1914
The image above is from the B.C. Historical Photograph Collection and depicts a Good Friday procession from the St. James Anglican Church on Cordova Street in Vancouver in 1914. It is on the front side of a postcard, produced by Timms’s Photography. St. James was established in 1881, but burned down in the Great Fire of 1886. The current building, at 303 Cordova St., was designed by architect Adrian Scott and opened in 1936 (see The History of Metropolitan Vancouver- 1936).
