The Bank of Upper Canada Building is an 1827 bank building in Toronto, Canada and one of the few buildings in Toronto that predates Toronto. It is located at 252 Adelaide Street East (originally 27 Duke Street East), in the Old Town district. Opened in 1827, in what was then York, it housed the Bank of Upper Canada until the bank's collapse in 1866. It was used for school purposes, and various commercial and industrial purposes before being restored in 1982 for commercial office space. It has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada since 1977. ==Description== The building is a three-storey limestone building. The building was originally two floors with a flat roof. It is attributed to William Warren Baldwin, but it may have been designed by Francis Hall. The Doric portico, designed by John George Howard was added in 1843.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lostrivers.ca/points/bofuc.htm )〕 Sometime after 1859, a new roof with dormers was added. In 1876, a third floor in the Second Empire style, was added by De La Salle College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://townofyork.com/pdfs/Out%20of%20the%20Ashes.pdf )〕 As well, the building has been extended twice to the north, along George Street. Stone Kohn Architects are responsible for the 1982 restoration design. It is adjoined to the next door De La Salle Institute building (1871) and Toronto's first post office (1834) along Adelaide Street.
