| The Bank of Montreal is located on the corner of Charlotte and Dorchester Streets, in downtown Sydney, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The bank was completed in 1901, constructed as a direct result of the industrial economic boom that occurred in Sydney at the turn of the twentieth century. Large steel plants located in Sydney, fed by nearby coal mines, made Sydney a hub of commercial and industrial activity, as reflected in the establishment of the Bank of Montreal in town’s commercial core. |
