Edgett Building Architect: A. Arthur Cox This handsome Edwardian Commercial style building was completed in 1911 for Francis Carter-Cotton, a newspaper publisher and member of the provincial legislature who previously hired Arthur Cox to design the neighbouring Province Building (1908-1909) at Hastings and Cambie. Until 1914 it housed H.A. Edgett Company, advertised as “Everything for the House” and “The Store of Plenty” — it carried a range of products, from furniture and carpets to groceries and glassware. It claimed to have the “largest, best and most complete grocery store in the Dominion of Canada”. In 1924 the Southam family expanded The Province newspaper operations and joined the two buildings with a two-storey arched bridge across the lane. In 1998 it was renovated to become the new home of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia.
