The Parliament Buildings, one of Victoria's most impressive structures - along with the Fairmont Empress Hotel and Old Customs House, were built around the Inner Harbour. Doug and I passed by here daily as The Gatsby Mansion, where we stayed during our 4-day visit to Victoria, was only a few blocks away on Belleville Street.

Photo Scrapbook: Visiting Victoria
After the April 4-5 Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, Doug and I visited Victoria and Vancouver. While in Victoria, we stayed at The Gatsby Mansion - a Queen Anne style home, overlooking the beautiful Inner Harbour, built by William J. Pendray. It was completed in 1897, the same year the Parliament Buildings opened.
