Imperial Bank of Canada - Toronto, ON - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

This plaque is on the front of what used to be the Imperial Bank of Canada Building. An ultra modern condo has overtaken much of this bank building and only the facade of the bank remains, which adds some character and some history to this combination.

The plaque reads:

"Imperial Bank of Canada
1908
This two-storey Edwardian Classical bank was designed for the Imperial Bank of Canada by the Toronto firm, Darling and Pearson, Architects. After the bank merged with The Canadian Bank of Commerce in 1961, the building continued as a branch of the new Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce until 2000. The old bank's initials, IBC, remain in the original mosaic floor of the entrance rotunda, restored with the building's façade as part of a condominium project in 2005.

Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, 1998
Heritage Toronto 2005"
