Ocean Island Inn : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ocean Island Inn Ocean Island Inn is a historic building in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; it is Vancouver Island's largest backpackers' inn. Located at 791 Pandora Avenue in Victoria, it is a four-storey heritage building,〔(City of Victoria Inventory of Heritage Buildings ), November 2008. Pg, 18〕 readily distinguishable by its Italianate architectural form and massing, and by its distinctive beveled corner. == History == Ocean Island Inn is one of the oldest large-scale commercial buildings of its era to survive in this part of Victoria’s downtown. Constructed in 1891 for Carlo Bossi, a prominent pioneer developer and landowner, it is important to the city's heritage because it is representative of the development patterns of the late nineteenth century, which saw the expansion of the City away from the commercial core and the waterfront. Designed as a hotel with commercial spaces at street level, it is significant that it has retained an element of its original function through a major 1944 renovation which converted it to war-time housing, and through to its present-day use as a backpacker's hostel. Since 1891, it has been variously known as Allies Hotel, Osborne House, Pandora Hotel, and Ocean Island Inn Backpackers Suites.
