Historic Sites of Manitoba: Union Bank Building / Bank of Nova Scotia Building (190 Nelson Street, Virden)
The Union Bank of Canada was the leading bank on the prairies. In the late 1890s, it was going through a period of expansion when this two-storey brick building at Virden replaced a previous premises next door. When the Great Depression forced most chartered banks to scale back, this bank branch closed and the building became the law offices of Brayford, Buckingham and Doak. In 1951, it was occupied by the Bank of Nova Scotia.
