TOUR STOP 13: The Bank - 148 Main St.


The Northern Crown Bank was constructed in 1906 by John Dillon.  The stone for the foundation of this building was quarried at Ellisville and the bricks were manufactured at the Dillon Brickyard in Seeley's Bay.  The roof and gables were covered with slate and are stilol visible on the gables.

In 1918, the Northern Crown Bank merged with the Royal Bank and the building was sold.  The Royal Bank carried on as a tenant of the building until 1923  when the branch closed.  In that same year a branch of the Bank of Toronto opened in a storefront on the south side of the street and later the Bank of Toronto rented and eventually purchased the building, which it occupied until the new Toronto-Dominion Bank building at 161 Main Street was completed in 1972.

Sadly, on July 14, 2017, our TD Canada Trust branch closed its doors. The building is presently occupied by Thomson Electric.
