Former Bank of Montreal

Designed by local architectural
firm Keeper and Weeks, the bank
of Montreal built this neighbourhood
Branch to serve centertown's emerging
residential and commercial community.
Constructed of limestone and brick, its
intricately decorated windows, doric
columns and carved entablure show
the influence of the Beaux-Arts style.
The bank was closed and converted
into a café in 1978. In 1991
it was incorporated into a
grocery store.

L’ancienne Banque de Montréal

Conçue par le cabinet d’architectes
Keefer and Weeks, cette succursale de
quartier a été construite par la banque
de Montréal en 1908-1909 pour desservir
sa clientèle résidentielle et
commerciale croissante du
Centre-Ville. La décoration élaborée
des fenêtres de cet édifice en pierre
calcaire et en brique, ainsi que ses
colonnes doriques surmontées
d’un entablement sculpté, témoignent de
l’influence du style Beaux-Arts. Cette
succursale a été fermée en 1978, et
l’immeuble a alors été transformé
en café. En 1991, il a été intégré
à un marché alimentaire.
