Mid summer shadows and light...<br />The building on on the left is at 1137 Yates Street, Victoria, V8V 3N1.  Designed in 1959 by local Victoria architect, John De Castri,  the main building was an example of 1950s International architectural style.  The original main entrance to the medial offices and pharmacy originally was on an oblique angle to the main building and more reflective of the California Googie style (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googie_architecture) according to Tom Harding, Mid-Century Architecture in Victoria Exhibit (https://exhibits.library.uvic.ca/spotlight/mcm), January/ February 2018,  University of Victoria Archives and Special Collections.  The main entrance has been remodelded significantly losing the original Googie styling. The building on the right was build later but still has some of the 1960s character in its drive-thru to the parking lat at the back,  lit and vented by the concrete screen/breeze blocks.<br />I was mainly attracted to the shadows and light but there was something in the building style (and odd remodelling, which you dont see here) that attracted my attention.
