Vaglio Fireplace Celebrates 100 Years! Vaglio Fireplace opened its doors in 1912 A HISTORY OF VAGLIO FIREPLACE
I
t all started in March of 1912. The Vaglio family started the business in their home on East Pender Street. What began as a masonry supply company eventually morphed into the fireplace business that it is to this day. During the mid ‘20’s, the company moved to a building on the corner of Richards St. and West Hastings St. After approximately 20 years at that location, Vaglio Fireplace moved to the 3600 Block of East Hastings St. The Vaglio
family built the store on the North East corner of Kootenay and East Hastings. This happened in 1945 and much of the construction material was reclaimed from the old Vancouver Hotel. Vaglio Fireplace was eventually sold by the Vaglio family in 1972 to the current owners, Doyne Harstone and his son Brad Harstone. In August of 1978, Vaglio Fireplace moved across the street to its current location at 3600 East Hastings St. Throughout its 100 year
