Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bank of Hamilton Bank Vault (Bradwardine, Municipality of Riverdale)

In 1904, the Bank of Hamilton took over a private bank at Bradwardine in what is now the Municipality of Riverdale and operated it until 1926. The former bank building was used for a time as a hardware store. The only part of it remaining at the site is a concrete and brick vault.
