Relief of a stylized polar bear located on the grounds of the Guild Inn Estates Sculpture Park in Scarborough.
The bear, along with several other stylized relief animals, adorned the old Bank of Montreal building that stood on the northwest corner of King and Bay Streets in downtown Toronto from 1948 until 1972.
When the bank building was scheduled for demolition, arrangements were made to preserve these architectural and artistic treasures here at the former Guildwood Inn site.
The art was created by renowned sculptor Jacobine Jones in 1948.
