Talk:Werner von Alvensleben
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Werner and Gustav in Vancouver
This is a one/two sentence mention currently, might be more to it; the von Alvensleben brothers were prominent financiers and socialites in pre-Great War Vancouver, and backers of the Dominion Building, then the tallest in the British Empire; their local career is outlined in Strangers Entertained, which is a BC govt centennial publication (1971) on the province's ethnic groups; see Talk:Dominion Building for more; I don't have resources here to write up such a section but just giving notice it's out there, if not as "important" as the Germany-side bio already here....Skookum1 (talk) 16:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
