A 1920s bank in Toronto just got the careful restoration work old buildings deserve. The Short walks the details: stone, craft, and the kind of TLC that keeps heritage architecture in daily city life instead of behind a fence.
Why a Bank Building Matters
Early 20th-century banks were built to look permanent on purpose. Thick masonry, formal entries, and civic presence still read on the street even when the teller line is long gone.
What Restoration Looks Like
Restored TLC usually means repair over replacement: cleaning stone, fixing ornament, and keeping the silhouette intact so the block still feels like itself.
