Description
The Rawlinson & Glaholm Building is a small, one-storey Edwardian Commercial style building situated at a prominent corner in one of Nanaimo's oldest neighbourhoods. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Rawlinson & Glaholm Building's value resides in its role as a gateway building. Located at a prominent intersection, the building marks the western entrance to one of Nanaimo's oldest commercial areas. The angled corner entry mirrors the entry on the building directly across the street and creates a visual funnel, reinforcing the impression of entering a new and distinct space.
Built in 1916, the Rawlinson & Glaholm building is a very good example of a modest, elegant Edwardian Commercial building. The building's size is in keeping with the pedestrian scale of this mixed residential and commercial area. The building was designed by architect E. J. Bresemann, who with partner Durfee, also designed Victoria's First Congregational Church and St. James Hotel and Nanaimo's Commercial Hotel.
The Rawlinson & Glaholm Building is part of a grouping of historic buildings in this neighbourhood.
