About the Dominion Building
The Dominion Building was first called the Dominion Trust Building. It is a commercial building at 207 West Hastings St, on the edge of Gastown in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was the city's first high-rise with a steel frame. John S. Helyer was the architect; a story says he died falling from the staircase at the front of the building, but that is an urban legend. It is a Class "A" heritage structure.
Count Alvo von Alvensleben of Germany financed the project and was a figure in Vancouver's financial circles. Generally known as one of the Kaiser's godsons, he was said at the time to be fronting the Kaiser's money. This fed a rumor that the Empire's tallest building was built by its greatest rival. That overlooks the Traders Bank Building in Toronto, finished in 1906 at 55.39m, which was the tallest in the Empire.
The building faces Victory Square across the street. The former provincial courthouse stood on the square until it moved to Georgia Street in 1913, and until then the Dominion Building sat at the center of the financial and legal district of the city. Street scenes of The Neverending Story were filmed around its back side and Cambie Street, and the opening rooftop chase of Blade: Trinity was shot at the building.
