This modern architecture building was constructed in 1957 and was designed by local architects Harold Semmens and Douglas Simpson[1] and was home of the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library from 1957 to 1995.[2] Vancouver historicplaces.ca In December 1996, Canada's first (and ultimately only) Virgin Megastore opened on the lower level; Virgin eventually decided to exit the Canadian market and sold the location to HMV in September 2005.The southeast corner of the building was also the first Planet Hollywood in Vancouver opened on March 16, 1997.[5] The upper levels were taken over in fall 1997 as studios for the newly launched independent TV station VTV.Incidentally, CTV would later acquire the Toronto building in question (but not City TV).
