It is particularly interesting in this cas> because the ideas and the materials used to carry them out are Canadian. In style the architecture would be called "moderne" but it is well reâ€" strained within the limits of practical goocq taste. The classic tradition is preserved by the decorative treatment which merely suggests the classical features, while frankly recognizing the purpose of the building as a banking house on a business street in a modern city. There is originality in every finâ€" ished detail while the whole effect achieved by the architects, Messrs. Sproat and Rolph, is one of distinâ€" guished simplicity.
