According to Going Downtown, the upper storeys of the Affleck Building burned in 1973. The two buildings together were originally called the Kennedy Block.
Yeah I believe the Kennedy block was actually one continous building on the inside. I think they may have even shared the same address at that time. I also think it contained the Bank of Commerce before the merge.
