While living in Vancouver from 1906 to 1910, Emily Carr taught art classes, often taking her students outside to capture their surroundings. Doris Shadbolt states that Carr's paintings from this period were "mainly small in scale" watercolours. Carr's subject matter was often the area near her studio at 570 Granville Street. In her autobiography Growing Pains, Carr remarks that "we sat on beaches over which great docks and stations are now built, we clambered up and down wooded banks solid now with Vancouver's commercial buildings." This watercolour of the historic Canadian Pacific Railway Station is likely the result of one of those treks. The station was designed by Edward Maxwell in the railway's early Chateau style, and it stood at the foot of Granville Street. Carr's accomplished watercolour is a fine record of this distinguished building with its striking turrets, which was demolished in 1914 and replaced by Waterfront Station.
