- From the Hallmark Heritage Society a narrated copy of the film made in 1907 by William Harbeck as he visited Victoria B.C. A reflection of the city's heritage and history. Harbeck stood on the front of a streetcar as it traveled through the city.

The “now” looks to be already about 20 or 30 years ago! Times flies:) Thansk for posting this!
As a person who is from Victoria, i really liked this video. Thank you.
Loved it!
I’m a proud resident of Victoria and find this video to be fabulous. Well done!👏🏼😃
It was still a shit hole.
Awesome vid. Would it be possible to turn down the background piano a wee bit?
Everyone makes the mistake of saying ‘the parliament buildings’. The parliament buildings are federal and in Ottawa. This site is the British Columbia Legislative Assembly or just the legislature.
Darn, I just checked the original drawings in the Lobby and they say British Columbia Parliament Buildings. Perhaps this is where the Legislature sits.
The BC parliament buildings is where the BC Legislative Assembly meets
Most buildings on lower Johnson Street were designed by the same architects of old town Sacramento, California reflecting the expansion of the "Gold Rush" northward.
A few years ago the lane of Government St. closest to the lawns of the Legislative Assembly was dug up for a couple hundred feet. The street car rails and ties are still in place, just buried by pavement.
Excellent work, thank you. Maybe ironically, as of late, the Hallmark corporation has made quite an extensive use of the town of Victoria for their Hallmark brand movies. Coincidence Hallmark Heritage Society? or how far does this rabbit hole go?!
Thanks for sharing none the less
My Great Grandfather Charles Allen Tuttle lived at 2821 Gosworth Road in the early 1900s.He worked at Victoria Bed & Mattress Company LTD and was located at 776 Topaz Avenue. My Great Grandfather is buried at Ross Bay Cemetery He had 7 kids Gilbert Tuttle was my Grandfather and my Dad Carl Tuttle was born in 1936 in Victoria . I have some pictures of the mattress company if you would like, let me know
Nice history lesson
The Johnston st bridge has since been replaced
I wish there was a bit on Chinatown , I own an apartment in the Lee Chong building . would love to see old photos of it ...
Many of the old Victoria BC Canada buildings are reputed to be ghost haunted, real paranormal stuff.
Capital Iron finally closed this past year
And re-opened... not the same store but... it's open and in the same building.
THEY CLOSED DOWN THE POINT ELLICE HOUSE!!! 😢 SO SAD!!
It's open again! :)
Built in 1871 with that tiny population of people with horse and buggies lol Yeah right !!!
Fair warning to tourists that are thinking of visiting Victoria the locals here are probably the biggest snobs in Canada.
Their town was invaded and taken away from them by stuck up rich foreigners.
@@redwater4778 no taken over by ass hole Liberals
moved to Victoria from a real rural place a few years ago. Didn't experience any snobbery. I think you probs had one bad experience and decided to now be salty over it
I live here and I resemble that remark.😠
Wow. I can't imagine what other parts of Canada treated you like.
It was still a shit hole.
Where was it better?...
The old videos are missing the crackheads and homeless camped out in front of retail shops, Victoria's new vibe.
That vibe is in every city now not just Victoria
@@reasonablerandys WRONG! I was in Beijing touring around on a mountain bike (seeing numerous out of the way streets and alleys), not one crackhead!!! Assuming Moscow is has a similar vibe.
@@lolahunter8851 dry up , it’s in every city that is in North America unfortunately. Beijing and Moscow are your examples? Where simple possession could be considered a life sentence in prison 🤷♂️ hop off your soapbox before you get hurt from the fall
@@reasonablerandys And your point is? You speak from both sides of your mouth. You feel its a problem but are worried about penalties. There could be a middle in North American but our socialist wing nuts in power are worried about everyone's feelings. Maybe you should find a soap box to jump on to before we all go down the toilet.
