The Sun Tower is a 17 storey 82 m (269 ft) Beaux-Arts building at 128 West Pender Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was known for its faux-patina steel dome painted to imitate copper cladding. In early February 2021 a newly finished roof clad in real penny-coloured copper tiles was revealed. The new roof was a part of restoration work that began on the heritage building in 2018. Nine nude muses, the "nine maidens" supporting the cornice line can be seen. The terracotta for this building, including the ladies, was made in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England by Gibbs and Canning Limited.

  • 太阳塔(Sun Tower)是加拿大卑詩省温哥华的一座建筑,学院派风格(Beaux-Arts),17层(高82米/270英尺),座落片打西街(West Pender Street)100号。其特点是巨大的绿色穹顶,其实绿色是画上去的,模仿被风化的铜的颜色。9个裸体的缪斯女神支撑着飞檐。 大樓於1912年落成,由建築師 W. T. Whiteway 設計,用作《溫哥華世界報》的總部,並稱為「世界大樓」。大樓曾短暫成為大英帝國第一高樓。《世界報》於1924年結業後,《溫哥華太陽報》遷至此處,大廈改稱「太陽塔」。《太陽報》於1960年代遷離此處,但大樓卻保持名稱並沿用至今。溫哥華的Moscovitch家族隨後購入大樓,再於2008年售予Sun Capital。買賣雙方沒有公開成交價,但大樓於2008年估值為616萬加元。買家承諾會與市政府合作修葺大樓。 (zh)
