The 1940s brought significant change to St. John’s. An influx of American and Canadian troops, who established bases in and around St. John’s during the war, brought with them North American cultural influences and contributed to a booming economy and population growth. With this came new ways of thinking about buildings. The city’s traditional Georgian and Victorian wood, brick and stone residential and commercial structures gradually gave way to buildings of a “Modernist” design. Often built of concrete and steel, these structures generally had little in the way of decoration with the exception of a number of Art Deco buildings. |
