This building on Main Street in Winnipeg was designed by Toronto architects Darling and Pearson as a drugstore for pharmacists John Cram Gordon and William James Mitchell. In 1948, architects Northwood and Chivers remodelled the building into a branch of the Bank of Montreal. It was later used by Lighthouse Mission.
