Bank of British North America Building
Bank of British North America Building, Commercial heritage building in St. John's, Canada.
The three-story stone structure at 276 Duckworth Street features Renaissance Revival architecture with rectangular windows and decorative stone cornices.
Built in 1849 after the St. John's fire, the building served as Newfoundland's first commercial bank and survived the great fire of 1892.
The building now functions as the Anna Templeton Centre, providing education and training programs in arts and crafts for the local community.
Located in downtown St. John's, the building maintains its original stone facade while housing modern educational facilities inside its historic walls.
The structure underwent multiple banking transitions, from the Bank of British North America to the Commercial Bank, then the Newfoundland Savings Bank.
