This imposing home stands in semi-seclusion behind a tall lilac hedge. It was constructed for the Bank of Montreal as the residence of the local bank manager and was used for that purpose until the 1960s. The size of the structure reflects more than just the monetary wherewithal of the original owner. It also testifies to the faith that that financial institution had in Brandon's economic future. Today the exterior of the house remains essentially the same as when it was built.
