Description
The Bank of Montreal was designed by Honeyman & Curtis in 1929 for the Bank of Montreal. It is a representative example of a “Temple Bank” and is typical of the restrained “Beaux Arts Classicism” of this commercial banking style.
The building exhibits a high quality of construction, materials and design aesthetic. This is particularly evident in the cut stone cladding, fine neo-classical detail in the cornices and column capitals, fenestration, and interior (including period tilework to basement washrooms, etc.).
The corner location, “Temple” design metaphor, and the quality of design and construction of this heritage building make it a neighbourhood landmark.
