I loved it here! I come to eat in the Marche Restaurant. I read, and then look at the architecture surrounding me. I have a camera with me (... don't you know it ...) and I take all kinds of pictures.
The historic Bank of Montreal building, was build into the Allen Lambert Galleria and is the oldest intact streetscape. It is sitting at the corner of Yonge and Front Street and was built in 1885. "Conceived by the Spanish designer Santiago Calatrava, the Allen Lambert Galleria is a soaring, six-storey avenue of light and glass that flows between Bay and Yonge Streets."
The Midland Commercial Bank is a facade inside the steel arches of the Galleria with porch, steps up, the railing about the yard and beautiful lamps (2 of them) over the pillars 'outside'.
