1920 – Molsons Bank, Kitchener, Ontario

A branch of Molsons Bank that was substantially remodelled by architect Phillip J. Turner who designed many branches for the bank either on his own or as part of Turner & Carless.

“At Kitchener, a dark office with a ceiling eleven feet six inches high only has been entirely altered by removing the floor above and giving the extra height to the banking room. The office in consequence is now twenty-two feet high, and with a large skylight and window over the roof at the rear, the lighting is all to be desired. The exterior, previously unpretentious, has been rebuilt in stone with metal window frames and bronze doors giving to the office an abundance of daylight and the building an imposing character which was lacking before the alteration. The upper floor has been remodelled into quarters for the janitor and room for the staff.”
Construction, April 1921
