Bank of Toronto Details
This building was originally designed and built for the Bank of Toronto (c. 1920). Located at 166 Lakeshore Road East, this building was converted to a Toronto-Dominion Bank after the merger in 1955.
The Toronto Bank, Current Details
Prior to the bank, this property originally belonged to the town's founder, Colonel William Chisholm, and was the location of his house. Silkeborg, a high-end retail clothing store has since replaced the bank and TD Canada Trust can now be found at 282 Lakeshore Road East.
