Hey VV'ers - I am on a quest for some examples of heritage buildings that historically had floors added to them. We know that there are a lot downtown that had floors removed but what about the other way? I know there were a few that added floors in the lead up to prohibition so that they could keep their pub license. Any other examples that still stand that you know of?

That is a cool article. How about some more local examples? I know that the Dominion Hotel and the Oriental Hotel both expanded after the initial structure but any other ones that anyone can think of?

I am not sure if it's considered heritage, but the Strathcona Hotel got wider in the late 1980s. Of course the Empress has grown many times since its initial construction.
