Where's The Vault?

This Classical Revival building is one of the neighbours of yesterday's great building in the Junction neighbourhood. It was designed  for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Canada and built in 1909 by architects Darling & Pearson who designed many banks and University of Toronto buildings from that era. I'm not sure when it became The Treasury or what exactly that is but it seems to be some kind of apartment building.
I consider that to be a fence running along the top so I am taking part in Good Fences. Click HERE to see more fences from around the world.

    It does look like a fence above, doesn't it. The Treasury? Hmmmm.

    It would be quite strange to live in a building like this...

    Certainly has a bank look about it, very solidly built!

    It certainly is a secure looking apartment building now.

    We have a number of bank or bank buildings downtown in this style. Some are still banks, others have taken on new forms.

    Sure, that counts as a fence! Keeps people from falling off the roof. :-)

    Love it! Sturdy and focused, fenced and fine, it's a great building whatever it's being used for!

    I will enjoy your balustrade as a fence! What a cool little building. So eloquent

    Looks a good solid building, befitting of a bank.

    That lovely awning at the entrance adds the perfect amount of color to this building. Nice capture.

    Handsome building-almost a classic bank style? In the UK, some of these have been turned into pubs/bars as bank branches close.

    Another good adaptive re-use. (I like your inclusion of people walking or biking past the building.)
