1914 – Bank of Ottawa, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

“The Bank of Ottawa, costing $50,000.00, is of fireproof consti’uction and heavy enough for three or four additional stories, which accounts for the adoption of brickwork above the cornice. The rest of the front is of buff Tyndall stone. The building is constructed with a reinforced concrete frame of concrete beams, columns and floors ; exterior enclosing walls of brick and stone, partitions of tile. The entire ground floor is devoted to banking premises, with marble floors and marble wainscoting in green and white. The stairs are of iron and marble, finish of oak. The first floor is occupied by the bank’s solicitors and the upper floor is used as staff quarters.”
Construction, January 1915
