For AIS3 multiple award winning artist Mary Jane Mansfield created an outdoor sculpture to animate a vacant lot at Stevens and Nicollet Avenue. MJ is getting her BFA at the University of MN currently.
Her statement reads:
Artist Mary Jane Mansfield's creative identity comes out of a rich history of
performance art from DaDa to the 70's and early 80's performance art era
where life/art was a prevalent theme. Ms. Mansfield studied under Mike
Kelley in the early 80's. She is best
known for her work with water and electricity. Light bulbs underwater in
buckets and jars and pouring cold water over them have long been a thread
that runs through her work in sculpture, performance and installation.
For round 3 of the Whittier neighborhood Artists in Storefronts projects she
has been commissioned to create an installation in an empty lot at 26th and
Stevens. For this project she created a house with no walls and a picket fence
filled with summers warm and lively colors. The remainder of the lot will host
community snowman building events as weather permits.
Keep your eyes peeled on the artist in storefronts website for
dates and times whenever you see it snow!!
Ms. Mansfield is a recent recipient of an NEA grant
from Franconia sculpture park and an Artists initiative
grant from the MN State Arts Board.

A building that makes the grandest of imperial statements, this is officially part of the Government Offices Great George Street (GOGGS) complex, viewed from Parliament Street, London SW1. This segment is also known as 100 Parliament Street (100PS).
GOGGS was designed in 1898 by John Brydon, who drew inspiration from Inigo Jones’ unfulfilled design for a new Westminster Palace of the 1630s. After Brydon’s death, John Tanner completed the work in 1917, albeit diluting some of his predecessor’s original vision. The main 100PS occupants are HM Revenue & Customs, relocating there from Somerset House in 2004. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is also based here.
GOGGS is Grade II Listed, having been praised by the Victorian Society as “an early monument of the Edwardian Baroque Revival”.

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Kaiserhof Hotel is a four-storey, brick apartment block, located at the corner of Blanshard and Johnson Streets in Downtown Victoria. Retail storefronts face Blanshard Street, and the two main façades are clad with contrasting surfaces of pressed tan brick and ivory-coloured terra cotta.
Heritage Value
Constructed during the height of the pre-World War One real estate boom, the Kaiserhof Hotel is valued as a reflection of the surge of development that characterized Victoria’s gateway economy. With its substantial size, brick construction and classically-influenced detailing, the Kaiserhof Hotel was, and remains, a downtown landmark. The scale of the building reflects the optimism and rapid growth of the Edwardian era, prior to the collapse of the local economy in 1913 and the outbreak of World War One in 1914. It illustrates the continuing redevelopment of the eastern edge of downtown, through the replacement of earlier buildings on prime sites during a time of great prosperity. At the time the Kaiserhof Hotel was built, Blanshard Street was being established as a significant north-south commercial street that rivalled Douglas and Government Streets. Originally built as an apartment-hotel, it catered to travellers in a city that relied increasingly on trade and commerce, and was developing as a global tourism destination.
This historic place is also significant for its association with the early German community in Victoria, and as a demonstration of the multicultural origins of Victoria. It was built by Max Leiser, who was a leading local businessman and partner in Pither & Leiser Ltd., liquor merchants. Prominent German entrepreneur Alvo von Alvesleben operated his local business interests from this building. The original tenant was the Kaiserhof Hotel, which had a distinctly German flavour, including a fenced-in beer garden at the rear. Public sentiment turned against the Germans at the time of World War One. German immigrants had been fully accepted members of the community, but Britain’s declaration of war in August 1914 provoked a wave of patriotism and a xenophobic response. During the anti-German riots that followed the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, the hotel was extensively damaged and looted. When it re-opened, its name was changed to the Blanshard Hotel.
The Kaiserhof Hotel is also a significant surviving Edwardian-era design by prominent BC architect Thomas Hooper (1857-1935). Hooper had one of the province's longest running and most prolific architectural careers, designing hundreds of commercial and residential buildings in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. Reflective of the influence of the Classical Revival styles that were popular during the Edwardian era, the building is articulated in a tripartite division of base, shaft and capital. The two main façades are boldly detailed with contrasting brick horizontally at the base and capital, and vertically on the main shaft. This is one of Hooper’s most inventive designs, achieved through the interweaving of just two cladding materials.

Character-Defining Elements
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Kaiserhof Hotel include its:
- prominent location at the corner of Blanshard and Johnson Streets, in Victoria’s historic Old Town
- long-term hotel and residential use on the upper floors, with retail storefronts at ground level
- form, scale and massing, as expressed in its four-storey height, full basement, rectangular plan at ground floor level, L-plan upper floors, and flat roof, built to the property lines with no setbacks
- Edwardian era decorative features, including symmetrical design and details that demonstrate a Classical Revival influence, segmental-arched storefront openings, and pilasters and voussoirs of alternating brick and terra cotta
- masonry construction, including pressed tan brick and ivory-coloured terra cotta for the two main façades, and common red brick for side and rear façades
- surviving early storefront and ground floor elements, including wooden transoms and hopper windows with straight-leaded translucent glass
