Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bank of British North America Building / Olympia Café Building (1000 Rosser Avenue, Brandon)
Formerly located at the southwest corner of Tenth Street and Rosser Avenue in Brandon, this three-storey brick building was designed by local architect William Richard Marshall and built in 1890 by contactor William Bell as a branch of the Bank of British North America. In 1918, the bank was absorbed by the Bank of Montreal, and later became occupied by the Olympia Cafe.
The building was destroyed by fire in 1953. Three years later, another branch of the Bank of Montreal was constructed on this site.
