The Woodward’s Building was a historic building in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The original portion of the building was constructed in 1903 for the Woodward’s Department Store when that area of Cordova Street was the heart of Vancouver’s retail shopping district. At one time this was the premier shopping destination in Vancouver. The store was famous for its Christmas window displays and its basement Food Floor, and the “W” sign at the top of the building was a distinctive landmark on the Vancouver skyline..
