Wood Vallance Building
Wood Vallance Building
593 Baker Street, Nelson, BC
1896 Mission Revival. Built for A. H. Clements and C. Hillyer this was the first brick block building in the Queen City. The building was originally Queen Anne in style, but the facade has been so extensively renovated that its style definition has changed. Wood Vallance Hardware commenced at this location on 23 April 1904. The date on the facade refers to the business, not the building. Note the lintels, recessed doorway and decorative cornice.
