The Warehouse Studio

The Warehouse Studio

The Warehouse Studio is a multi-media recording facility and photography studio in VancouverBritish Columbia, Canada, owned by Bryan Adams.

The studio is within the Oppenheimer Building, a three-story Victorian building recognized as Vancouver's oldest brick building and a landmark of Vancouver's historic Gastown neighborhood. Originally built in June 1886 by the Oppenheimer Brothers, it was the location of Vancouver's first and largest wholesale grocery business. It also served as the temporary Vancouver City Hall location from 1888-1891 after the city was decimated by fire. In 1902, the building was purchased by UK glass manufacturer Pilkington Brothers Limited, which utilized it as a glass factory and storage warehouse for many decades. The building later fell into terrible disrepair and became abandoned.

In 1989 the property at 100-102 Powell St. was purchased by Bryan Adams. The building at 102 Powell was gutted and converted into a parking lot with green space hidden behind a street front facade. The 2nd building, the original Oppenheimer Warehouse on the corner was restored and converted into a recording studio facility. Adams worked with Don Stuart Architects to preserve the building's historical character by preserving the original brick and beam construction. The project was completed nine years later with the studio becoming fully operational in 1997. In 1998, The Warehouse Studio received a City of Vancouver Heritage Award for outstanding restoration of a historic building.
