Portage and Main Street, one of Winnipeg's most recognized crossroads, has long been home to the Bank of Montreal building. The Bank has been established in Winnipeg since 1877, when they opened their first branch at Broadway and Main Street.
When the 1881 land boom hit the Prairie Provinces in Canada, due to the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the bank capitalized on this and opened the branch at the corner of Portage and Main.
The architecture of the bank is very traditional and conservative (a symbol for most Bank of Montreal buildings throughout the country). Since the...
... opening in 1913, the Bank has maintained the original character of this Portage and Main building as it is a part of their history.
The Cenotaph outside is dedicated to the soldiers that died during the First World War. About 60,000 Canadians died while fighting for their country, and this statue is one of many across Canada that symbolizes that tragic and unforgettable time in its history.
