I've always been intrigued by this bank building in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood at the busy corner of Eglinton Ave & Weston Rd. I think it is the large round window that attracts the attention. The building was in danger of being demolished as part of LRT construction along Eglinton until the local community banded together to have the property heritage protected with the section on the left declared a wonderful example of post WWll bank branch design. It was constructed in 1949 and the modern addition on the right was added in 1981-2.
