Nestled among the modern high-rises is the old Court House. Its neoclassical style was designed in 1905 by Francis Rattenbury, the same architect who built the exquisite BC Parliament Building and Empress Hotel in Victoria. In 1979, the law courts moved to a new building across Robson Square and the Vancouver Art Gallery moved in. However, discussions are underway for a new building for the gallery’s $100 million art and photograph collection.
