Why go
The Strand's appeal comes from intact scale and detail rather than size. Three levels of slender galleries, cedar joinery and decorative ironwork create close views unavailable in larger commercial buildings. Walk through slowly, look upward from the central void, and compare its intimate proportions with the grander Queen Victoria Building a few blocks south.
