The Fraser Arms Hotel, at 1450 Southwest Marine Drive in the Marpole area of Vancouver underwent a major renovation in 2012. The hotel operated for 50 years as a hotel, restaurant, sports pub, nightclub, coffee shop, liquor store, and strip club. It was the site of the first 6-alarm fire in the history of Vancouver (April 24, 1988). In 1991, the Musqueam Indian Band purchased the property located in South Vancouver to prevent renovations to the building that could disturb the land the building sits on, which is part of the the Marpole Midden, (first uncovered in 1884 by a construction crew). The Fraser Arms Hotel strip club closed Jan 30, 2004, reinventing itself as a sports bar. The bar closed permanently in 2011, and after a $2-million dollar renovation, the property has been renamed Luminaire Plaza with only the hotel's liquor store carrying on as Value On Liquor Store. A lot of high quality timber came to our yard as a result of the renovation!
