The Gospel Mission or 'Pigeon Mission' as it is known by street people, is in many ways an old fashion mission.
Built in the 1889, the building is a typical brick two-story building (see picture on right) located in Gastown on the north side of a small park called 'Pigeon Square'.
Both the park and surrounding buildings date back to the early years of Vancouver, B.C., which was originally, called 'Granville Town'.
It's located on the second floor and there is a faded reminder of the buildings past painted on the side of it, that says,"Louvre Saloon, beds 20 cents".
The mission is one of the oldest ones in Vancouver.
The date of it being turned into a mission is sketchy, but I have spoken to people who have been coming there since the 40’s.
The A.C.O.P. has had a mission in that area since 1929.
Gospel Mission - Heritage Plaque Presentation
In 2011, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation named 325-331 Carrall Street, where the Mission has been located since the 1940s, one of Vancouver's 125 "Places That Matter". On April 28, 2012, the VHF presented the plaque.
