- The Woodward's Department Store was first established in Vancouver at the corner of Hastings and Abbott in 1903. For the next nine decades Woodward's was one of Vancouver's major department stores. It was well known for its Christmas displays and the neon “W” on the roof. Woodward's closed its Hastings Street store in 1993. Woodward's was designated a heritage building in November 1996 and the site is currently under development for condominiums. (From the City of Vancouver website, 2008).
