Looking northeast from the intersection of King St E and Sherbourne St in Toronto’s Old Town neighbourhood.
Built in 1908, the two-storey Edwardian Classical style building was originally the Imperial Bank of Canada and designed by the Toronto-based architecture firm Darling & Pearson. In 1961, the bank merged with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and until 2000, the building served as a CIBC branch.
Today, the building’s historic facade has been preserved and repurposed as the entrance to the Kings Court Condo.
