Winch Building
The Winch Building (also known as the R.V. Winch Building) is a five-storey heritage commercial building located at 739 West Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Completed in 1911, it was designed by architect Thomas Hooper of the firm Hooper & Watkins in the Beaux-Arts Classical style for shipping and canning magnate Richard Vance Winch. The building was Vancouver's first steel-cage construction and was described at the time of its completion as "an entirely modern Class A office building, the first of its kind in British Columbia." Since 1986, the Winch Building has formed part of the Sinclair Centre, a complex of four heritage buildings connected by a glass atrium. It is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building and is listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. The building is also listed on the Vancouver Heritage Register with municipal and national heritage protection.
