This Converted Bank Buildings was constructed in 1909. The Imperial Bank bought the lot after the Fernie Fire in 1904 and erected a building in 1909. The bank operated here until 1963 after the Imperial Bank merged with the Canadian Bank of Commerce in 1961. From that point on the building was mostly occupied by successive law practices.
The building is currently the home of The Brickhouse Bar and Grill.
The bank vault door is still visible in the bar area and now houses the pantry for the kitchen.
