Another Hamilton image, looking northwest across Gore Park (apparently it's from a card that was in a cigarette package)
The larger building on the left was originally the Bank of Hamilton, and it began as a two or three storey structure, expanded to 10 in the early 1900s. Later it housed the Bank of Commerce after a merger in 1924, then eventually CIBC. It was demolished in the mid-1980s and replaced by a pair of generic glass towers.
Judging by the cars, and the Bank of Commerce sign not being up yet atop the bank tower, and the flagpole in the foreground (which was removed in 1921 and replaced by a Cenotaph) this is probably from sometime during the 1910s.
