197 Yonge Street

197 Yonge Street, Former bank building in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada

197 Yonge Street is a four-storey former Canadian Bank of Commerce building completed in 1905 to designs by the architectural firm Darling and Pearson. The bank's address, 199 Yonge Street, is still displayed above the entrance. The building was refurbished with 17,423 square feet of space and preserved as part of the Massey Tower project.

The four-storey building at 197–199 Yonge Street was built in 1905 as a branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, designed by the architects Darling and Pearson. The City of Toronto declared it a historical property in 1974, and the bank left the premises in 1987. The building was preserved and incorporated into the Massey Tower project, with 17,423 square feet of refurbished space.

The bank address, 199 Yonge Street, is still displayed above the entrance of the 1905 building, a detail visitors can spot. The gap beside it at 205 Yonge Street once held the Colonial Tavern, demolished in the 20th century, so the block's commercial past is legible in its surviving facades and empty gaps.

The bank entrance faced Yonge Street, and the address "199" is still visible above the doorway. The building stands between 205 Yonge Street and the gap where the Colonial Tavern once stood, so look for it by that number rather than by the tower entrance.
