Historic Sites of Manitoba: Canadian Bank of Commerce Building (402 Main Street, Grandview, Municipality of Grandview)

This two-storey brick and stone building at the corner of Main Street and North Railway Avenue in Grandview was designed by architect Victor Daniel Horsburgh and built in 1912 as a branch for the Canadian Bank of Commerce. It became the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce after a 1961 merger with the Imperial Bank of Canada. Two additions on the rear of the building, constructed at different times, were used as vaults.

The branch closed in 2017 and the building was sold to a local resident. He used it for a couple of years as a take-out pizza outlet and, as of 2026, as a cannabis dispensary. The second floor has been converted into rental residential space.
