MAPLE TREE SQUARE
A remarkable square, rich in history, with the oldest building in Vancouver.
The site where John Deighton opened the very first inn in the city of Vancouver (when it was still called Granville) in 1867, around which the population grew. It was also here, under a large maple tree that once stood in the middle of the square, that the inaugural meeting of the town's first Municipal Council took place in 1886, after a large fire destroyed part of the town. The Byrnes Block, Vancouver's oldest surviving building (at 2 Water Street), can still be admired.
