Bank of Canada Building, Financial headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

The Bank of Canada Building features grey granite walls, extensive bronze doors, and a modern glass extension housing the central bank operations.

The construction of the main building took place from 1937 to 1938, with architect Sumner Godfrey Davenport leading the initial design process.

Seven sculptures on the facade represent different Canadian industries: fishing, electricity, mining, agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, and construction.

The building contains an interior tropical garden with a water feature, making it a frequent location for professional photography sessions.

The structure incorporates a three-ton Yap Stone, a circular stone currency from the Pacific island of Yap, displayed in the courtyard.
