I think you're right. 333 Spadina is also a great condo conversion.

I dislike it... it would actually look better IMO in dark, like the John Hancock.

(I must say though, it's above average for a modern Canadian building. Seems to me that nearly everything that's going up these days is of poor taste.)

You're confused. It's far from a condo conversion.

There are a number of little clusters of old buildings in downtown Vancouver but they are rare and much appreciated for what they add to the texture of a very new city. The last pic below is a panorama of the view from my apartment on Homer Street (next street over from the old houses) looking west.

March 13 '15, all my pics

Nice little painted ladies indeed, but are there only four left in downtown Vancouver?

That fountain in front of Parliament adds a lot to an already spectacular City. I remember they were installing it when I went there on a class trip in 05'.
