Holden Building Architect: W. T. Whiteway Built in 1910-11 by realtor William Holden, this ten storey brick building is a landmark along the Hastings Street commercial corridor. Over the years the building has housed a variety of uses including offices, steam baths, and from 1929 to 1936 it served as Vancouver's City Hall. Many of the original architectural details were uncovered during the 1988 conversion to housing for the Downtown Eastside Residents Association by Davidson Yuen Architects. It was renamed Tellier Tower after the prominent union leader.
