580 West Hastings – Bank of Toronto
Hodgson, King & Marble Ltd. builds the local headquarters of the Union Bank in 1920, just after the First World War. The Building served as the Bank of Toronto from 1926 to 1954, and as the Toronto Dominion Bank headquarters from 1955 to 1971. The granite and terra cotta facade is well articulated in this excellent example of the Second Renaissance style popular with Canadian Banks of that era. The historic building remains part of Simon Fraser Universities’ downtown campus, the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue.
