This two-storey brick building in Reston, in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone, was designed by the Winnipeg architectural firm of Pratt and Ross and built in 1917 to replace a building destroyed by fire a year earlier. The main floor was occupied by a branch of the Bank of British North America (later the Bank of Montreal) with living quarters for bank employees on the second floor.
