Curious About - Victoria, British Columbia

Season 1, Episode 6 of 6

Who was "A.B.C. Architect" and why did he design such a grand Parliament Building in Victoria? What is Fan Tan Alley, and what does it have to do with the 2nd oldest Chinatown in North America? How did an 11th and 12th century French, Spanish & Italian Romanesque-style castle, built for a Scottish self-made millionaire, become 'Canada's Castle'? Why isn't there a sign above the main entrance to The Empress Hotel? And finally, as we take High Tea here, is it pinkies up or down?
