The Dominion is a Gastown landmark, and though the 13-storey, Beaux Arts-style tower is more than 115 years old (and no longer the highest building in the British Empire), she’s still full of life. The small offices inside attract a rotating cast of independent businesses and creatives; right now, a new wave of cool-girl fashion boutiques (many of them vintage-focused) are ruling the roost. Here are the collectors and curators calling the Dominion home right now.
