| Title | Vancouver, B.C. Daily World Headquarters, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, 1909. |
| Photographer | Harwood, Frank M. |
| Date | 1909 |
| Caption | The Vancouver B.C. Daily World headquarters was housed this reproduction of the Hudson Bay Company's Nanaimo Bastion. The original Bastion, in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, B.C., still exists today, and is the oldest original freestanding Hudson's Bay Company fort in North America. Although most of the Hudson Bay Company's Forts were established in for fur-trading, the Nanaimo Bastion is unique as the only known Hudson's Bay Company fort that focused primarily on coal mining. The company built the Nanaimo Bastion to serve as a company office, arsenal and storage facility, and in the event of enemy insurgency, a safe haven for miners and their families. |
