Braid Street Studios
100 Braid Street • Warehouse • Built 1929
For many, the 100 Braid Street location looks like another old building on a busy commuter roue. Built in 1929 to provide additional space to produce spirits, wine and fine liqueurs for the main BC Distillery site, its distinctive cupola was said to be designed in the style of a grain elevator. Despite some 1960s alterations, it still retains the large, multi-paned look of a 1920s warehouse - one of the last surviving examples of its era and a testament to the vision of those who wanted to create art in an older building blessed with light, space and history. Note: The studio's new location is 3rd Floor, 321 Sixth Street in New West.
The 100 Braid Street location was demolished in 2021 to make way for a 34-storey rental residential tower.
