The Dominion Bank Building at 378 Yonge Street is designated on architectural grounds as a very fine example, with well preserved interiors, of the work of John M. Lyle, a Toronto architect of great importance (Bylaw No. 85-76). The building, designed in a simplified classical style, shows Lyle’s distinctive detailing that is based on forms of flowers and animals native to Canada and on Canadian history and industry. The location of the building at the south end of the widened portion of Yonge Street, from College Street to Gerrard Street, gives it great importance in the streetscape. The building was renovated in 1999 and has been converted from its function as a bank to operate as a restaurant.
