Bank of Upper Canada Building, National historic site in downtown Toronto, Canada.
The limestone structure on Adelaide Street East features a rectangular design with seven bays on the front and four on the sides, plus a mansard roof.
Constructed in 1827, this financial institution played a central role in the economic development of Upper Canada until its closure in 1866.
The building represents early Canadian banking architecture with its neoclassical elements, including paired columns and a raised podium at the entrance.
Located at 252 Adelaide Street East in Toronto's Old Town district, the building now functions as commercial office space after restoration in 1982.
The Doric portico, added in 1843 by architect John George Howard, stands as one of Toronto's earliest surviving architectural modifications.
