Canadian Bank of Commerce, Historic bank building and museum in Watson, Canada

The Canadian Bank of Commerce building displays Greek Revival architecture with fluted pilasters, a dentilled cornice, and a three-bay facade at Main Street.

The Toronto architectural firm Darling and Pearson designed this prefabricated wooden structure in 1906 as part of the bank's expansion into western Canada.

The Watson and District Heritage Museum now occupies this former bank building, presenting exhibits about local history and agricultural development in Saskatchewan.

Visitors can explore both the architectural features of this National Historic Site and learn about regional banking practices through preserved interior elements.

This structure stands as the largest surviving example of prefabricated bank buildings shipped by rail and assembled in Canadian railway towns.
