HERITAGE BUILDING

 

Credit Foncier Building

 

Architects: H.L. Stevens and Company

 

The Credit Foncier Franco-Canadien Company of

Montreal chose this prominent location for its western

headquarters in 1913. Fine materials, including

granite, decorative terra cotta, and an elaborate

copper cornice, are combined with the

well-articulated base, middle, and top portions of

the building to create this good example of 

Edwardian Commercial architecture.
