Yes, as it says in the Going Downtown book, the building is actually the same structure as Mitchell Copp. The bank part of it (that became Mitchell Copp) just wanted a fancier facade. The top stories on the west side were lost to fire.
The Kensington Building on the corner of Portage and Smith ("Lambert's Clothes" in the last postcard) burned down too ... I remember that fire. Unfortunately the result was the horrible new Kensington Building.
