The elevators in the Chrysler Building are probably one of it’s most extravagant and remarkable features. Notice the intricate wood paneling, the vivid colors, and the extreme attention to detail. Isn’t it kind of amazing that they’ve been able to preserve them so beautifully for all these years?

I discovered a nice photoset on Flickr showcasing Vancouver’s Marine Building. Rather over the top! I’m posting several photos from the set.
From the photographer:
As lauded on its very own website, it really is “Vancouver’s Finest Heritage Building”
On April 22, 2010, I finally had the privilege of attending a Heritage Vancouver event in the penthouse, with Don Luxton and Chuck Davis officiating! Such a great time! Such a beautiful view! Thanks, @HeritageVan.
