The building began life as it started life in 1906 as the Myers Hall and later held the city’s first purpose-built bowling alley, the Canadian Cycle and Motor Co, the Canadian Legion, the Boilermaker’s Hall, and the Marine workers’ Pender Auditorium.  During the 1960s the Auditorium was booked by music series, including the Afterthought, and was the site of an early Grateful Dead concert. The building was home to Vancouver’s earliest drag bar, BJ’s, open from 1970 to 1983, and later, the Vancouver Club Baths also opened in the basement area.
