1917 – Huron & Erie – Canada Trust, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Finished externally in Bedford Stone, the banking hall treatment was carried out along very simple lines, the walls being of Caen stone and the only decoration consisting of a cornice. “The woodwork was of quartercut oak in dull finish; and the color scheme such as to give a pleasing and restful general eflfect.” Demolished and replaced with a building of similar size and footprint by the successor financial company, TD Bank.

The Huron and Erie Building recently completed at Windsor, Ontario, serves as a branch of the Huron & Erie Mortgage Corporation and Canada Trust Company, with head office at London, Ontario. The frontage is 27 feet on Ouellette avenne and 72 feet on Pitt street; entrance to the banking room being from the former thoroughfare, and to the upper offices from the latter. As the building is situated at one of the most central business intersections, it makes the location most desirable for modern office accommodations, and the walls have therefore been designed for a future addition of four more storeys.
Construction, March 1918
