Union Bank of Canada

The main Vancouver branch of the Union Bank of Canada was at 550 West Hastings Street, at the southeast corner of Hastings Street and Seymour Street. In 1919 the bank moved to temporary offices at 450 West Hastings Street. The building at the corner of Hastings and Seymour was demolished in 1919, and a new “temple” style building appeared on the site.

The Union Bank of Canada began in Quebec City in 1865 as the Union Bank of Lower Canada. In 1886 it changed its name to the Union Bank of Canada. In 1925, the Union Bank merged with the Royal Bank of Canada.
