Commonly referred to by its street address, 2 King Street East, this heritage skyscraper stands at 90 meters tall, the tallest in Canada until 1928. A classical column with a four storey base and a four storey cap, it’s sombre and grand as befitting a large bank. Sited at a great architectural corner, King and Yonge, other corners being occupied by the Canadian Pacific Building and the former Dominion Bank Head Office, and the former Traders Bank building nearby.
