So, today is Wednesday… And there was no post this morning… I know. 🙂 I was working on some posts over the weekend, and with Monday being a holiday for me, I totally lost track of the days… Once I got to work this morning, I realized that I forgot to put up a post for today. So seeing as it’s early evening, and also noticing Aaron’s comments in the last post, here is today’s post. A little late, but it’s still Wednesday, and not the one I was originally working on, that will be bumped to next week.
Also when looking for a current photo of the Bank, I realized the newest photo I have is from 2001, so I really need to get out and shoot some of those sites again.
So the CIBC building on Devonshire, built in 1906, by Detroit Architect Albert Kahn, will have to settle for a current view from Google Streetview.

AH HA! so i'm not going crazy then :) better late than never Andrew!
i love this bank, becasue this is what a bank should look like. it represents something secure and permanent. and i'm also impressed that a bank in this city has managed to NOT play musical chairs with our buildings over the past 100+ years! i also love the globe lights on either side of the stairs.
now...what's up with the bbq? i'm sure M.O.M would be able to answer that.
thanks for the post Andrew!
sorry, i also ment to ask when it's expansion took place? it had at least the first floor expanded, but it doesn't seem like it happened long after it was first built.
I don't usually go in for neo-classical stuff, but that's a fine lookin' building.
I would love to see a picture of the apartment above the bank. As you know when the managers were transferred from one bank to another they simply changed apartments. Some of them wre very nice with panelled walls and fireplaces. The old Royal Bank in Walkerville had a nice apartment. There must be some photos and memories around.
i'm sure there were some interior shots taken from outside at some point in the summer ;)
To Tristan: You know why it's a fine lookin' building? Because it's a Kahn.
Neat! I never knew that was a Kahn.
Thanks Andrew!
There's a very interesting building directly behind it. It is being used as an apartment building, but does'nt look like it was one when first built. Does anyone have any information on it?
