History
The Domville Building was built in 1878. Named after Canadian Parliament member James Domville, it was one of Saint John's first major commercial buildings following the Great Fire in 1877. On August 5, 1878, the cornerstone for the Domville Building was laid and presented to Domville himself. It was set to be occupied by the Maritime Bank and the Bank of Montreal, but it would also be used as offices for the Canadian Pacific Railway, an insurance office, and as a bar and restaurant. The building has also been used to host political meetings. On March 18, 1982, the Domville Building was recognized as a historic building under New Brunswick's Municipal Heritage Preservation Act, with architecture featuring a Second Empire style built using sandstone. The building continues to be used by the Bank of Montreal as one of its branches.
