1968. Built 1899 and designed by Darling & Pearson. Not surprising, since it has a very Ontario-ish look to it, notably the (what appears to be) sandstone, which I think you see in downtown Winnipeg only on that building on Garry Street just down from the old Bank of Nova Scotia.
That was a big loss, especially for an empty lot. It was a very elegant building and something of a contrast in its Victorian heaviness to the more classical style of some of the other bank buildings.
