In the late summer of 2006 Jerry Prussin and Norah Johnson purchased the old Bank of Hamilton building on Commercial street in the Cedar Cottage neighbourhood of Vancouver. Here are a few photos, taken around 1905, which show the original building (complete with period dress). Restoration was done by their friends Chris Jordan-Knox and Blue West Contractors and expanded from some minor repairs to a whole face-lift, inside and out.

I think this location is where they filmed some of The X-Files: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose (for the tarot shop and palm reader shop). According to the book X Marks the Spot, the location used to be an artist's studio (this was around late 1995). Great photos!
I have a few pictures from the episode (towards end of page):

Oh cool! I'd like to check that book out. Did you know that it is supposedly the site of the first bank robbery in Vancouver?
This place looks amazing, how do I get in touch with the owners to rent a suite?
Thanks! I'm afraid all of the residential suites are rented. But there is a lovely commercial spot available...flower shop, book store, yoga studio?...
Email us at emrys.prussin@gmail.com Thanks!
