Dismantled stone by stone in 1910 and re-erected in Regina, Saskatchewan. A replacement bank building even more grandiose was designed and built by Darling & Pearson.

“One of the best monumental designs in bank building construction on Main st., is the Canadian Bank of Commerce building, erected about some years ago. It was designed by Messrs. Darling & Pearson. Its facade is Grecian classic and was constructed of Bedford stone. This structure is fireproof throughout, and is one of the finest bank structures in Winnipeg.”
Construction, December 1909
