St. Elmo Rooms mural at 429 Campbell Avenue in Vancouver's Strathcona neighbourhood.
The mural by artist Leslie Phelan was painted in 2023 in the hope of deterring graffiti vandals.
The mural features stylized renditions of the North Shore mountains, Burrard Inlet, a sailboat, orcas, cypress trees, the white Kermode spirit bear and the Lions Gate Bridge.
The building was designed and constructed in 1911 by Campbell and Dawson. It was an inexpensive investment at $8,500.

Entrance of The Plaza apartment building at 925 Bute Street in Vancouver's Westend has curb appeal.
WooHoo, Vancouver Heritage Foundation has some historical information.
The Plaza was built in 1927, designed by Evans & Sons. The building is a good example of the Second Phase of West End development when the multi-unit dwellings started to replace the luxury homes.
It is a wood frame and brick construction with an elaborated Gothic arch and stained glass. Although the windows were replaced, most of the original features remain the same.

I walk by my favourite building on Srathcona's Heatley Street at least twice a week. It might be my favourite Strathcona building or high on the list. Click, click.
The building was sold a couple of years ago and the new owners updated the building curb appeal.
As is typical in Vancouver, no historic information found.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky."
- Kahlil Gibran
(Several years ago an almost 200 hectare wildfire came close to completely destroying this area - and the trees you see in the photo are mostly badly charred but did survive - thanks to courageous firefighters the homes and recreational sites in the park were spared)
The biggest impact comes after a wildfire has moved through an area. Wildlife can perish as a result of habitat loss with food sources and nesting sites burned in the fire. The devastating flames destroy the food, water, and shelter wildlife need to survive – an impact that can last for years. The burned landscape left after a wildfire often results in a new type of habitat, replacing forests with shrubs and grass.
Species who rely on old growth forests for their diet and shelter will suffer the most.
