Now the home of
Cranbrook Photo, this venerable old bank building still adds a touch of class to the downtown area. On the west side of the building can still be seen the faint imprint of the original "Imperial Bank of Canada" sign. The daughter company of the old Imperial Bank, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), remains one of the five major banks in Canada.
The Imperial Bank of Canada building, constructed on the original townsite office lot on Baker Street in Cranbrook. The Imperial Bank opened in Cranbrook December 2, 1902 and this building was completed in 1909. The Imperial Bank of Canada eventually joined with the Canadian Bank of Commerce to form the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
