It was then occupied by John Salt, a Toronto hatter, and from 1865-75 by a branch of the City Bank of Montreal. The building to the south was the residence of Dr. Adams, 1855-65. It was afterwards, until 1873, occupied by the Grand Trunk Railway. Both buildings were demolished in 1878 to make way for 'V_ R. Brock & Co.'s warehouse, which was destroyed by fire in 1904, but reerected on the same site. Water color. Size 5 x 6.
