A Brief History of 622 Yates Street

Records are uncertain about the actual construction date of 622 Yates Street but we believe to have been built in the 1890’s or circa 1900, making it a surviving example of a smaller, single storey commercial building commonly built in downtown Victoria during the late 19th or very early 20th century.

It has always been a commercial building and has been occupied by a variety of retail stores and restaurants over its lifetime.
