Formerly located on Broadway Avenue in Pilot Mound, in the Municipality of Louise, a two-storey brick building, measuring 30 feet by 50 feet, was built in 1906 as a branch of the Bank of Toronto. The first floor of the building hosted banking services, vaults, and offices, while the second floor was an apartment for the bank manager but was later used as an office by dentist Frederick B. “Fred” Bingham (?-?).
In 1955, the bank amalgamated with the Dominion Bank to form the Toronto-Dominion Bank and it continued to operate in this building until 4 November 1968 when it moved to a new building across the street. Despite efforts to have the building designated as a heritage building, it was demolished in the summer of 1995.
