This two-storey brick building at the corner of Main Street and North Railway Avenue in Grandview was designed by architect Victor Daniel Horsburgh and built in 1912 as a branch for the Canadian Bank of Commerce and became the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce after a 1961 merger with the Imperial Bank of Canada. The branch closed in 2017 and, at the time of a 2023 site visit, the building was vacant.
