Historic Sites of Manitoba: Union Bank Building / Royal Bank Building (Fourth Street, Rapid City, RM of Oakview)This two-storey brick building at Rapid City, in the Rural Municipality of Oakview, was built in 1906 as a branch for the Union Bank of Canada. When the bank merged in 1925 with the Royal Bank of Canada, it continued as a branch of the new company. It closed until being closed in December 1994. Six years later, the building reopened as a shop selling antiques, collectibles, and groceries with residential space on the second floor.
