This two-storey brick building at the northeast corner of Crystal Avenue and Broadway Street South in Crystal City, in the Municipality of Louise, was built in 1918 as a branch of the Union Bank of Canada. In 1925, when the bank merged with the Royal Bank of Canada, it continued as a branch until March 1975 when the bank built a new building in town.
