Canada Permanent Trust Building, Art Deco skyscraper at Bay Street, Toronto, Canada

The 18-story Canada Permanent Trust Building rises 77 meters at the intersection of Bay and Adelaide Streets, featuring Indiana limestone construction and vertical window alignments.

The Canada Permanent Trust Building opened in 1930 after the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation lost its previous headquarters to fire in the early 1900s.

The building exhibits Egyptian influences in its decorative elements, reflecting the 1920s fascination with Egyptian design following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.

The banking hall contains marble pillars, plaster ceilings, and brass screens, while serving as an event space since CIBC Mellon departed the premises.

Five identical brass doors display relief sculptures showing a woman holding the old building model and a man carrying the new structure design.
