The Royal Bank Tower is a skyscraper at 360 Saint-Jacques Street in Montreal, Quebec. The 22-storey 121 m (397 ft) neo-classical tower was designed by the firm of York and Sawyer with the bank's Chief Architect Sumner Godfrey Davenport of Montreal. Upon completion in 1928, it was the tallest building in the entire British Empire, the tallest structure in all of Canada and the first building in the city that was taller than Montréal's Notre-Dame Basilica built nearly a century before. * Saint-Jacques street with the Royal Bank building (the tallest), 1935

  • L'Édifice de la Banque Royale, ou Tour de la Banque Royale, est un gratte-ciel ayant abrité le siège social de la Banque royale de 1928 à 1962. Il est situé au 360 rue Saint-Jacques à Montréal, dans le quartier historique du Vieux-Montréal. Inauguré au printemps 1928, l’Édifice de la Banque Royale fut l’un des derniers imposants immeubles montréalais érigés avant la crise de 1929. Sa tour repose sur un podium rappelant des palais florentins. Avec ses 28 étages (121 mètres), il était en 1928 l'édifice le plus élevé du Canada et de l'Empire Britannique. Il demeure aujourd'hui le 21e gratte-ciel le plus élevé de Montréal. (fr)
  • The Royal Bank Tower is a skyscraper at 360 Saint-Jacques Street in Montreal, Quebec. The 22-storey 121 m (397 ft) neo-classical tower was designed by the firm of York and Sawyer with the bank's Chief Architect Sumner Godfrey Davenport of Montreal. Upon completion in 1928, it was the tallest building in the entire British Empire, the tallest structure in all of Canada and the first building in the city that was taller than Montréal's Notre-Dame Basilica built nearly a century before. The bank's first official head office was at Hollis and George in Halifax in 1879. In 1907 the Royal Bank of Canada moved its head office from Halifax to Montreal As the building at Saint-Jacques Street turned out to be too small, in 1926 the board of directors of the biggest bank in Canada hired New York architects York and Sawyer to build a prestigious new building a short distance westward on Saint-Jacques Street. Between 1920 and 1926 the bank had bought up all the property between Saint-Jacques, Saint-Pierre, Notre-Dame and Dollard Streets to demolish all the buildings there including the old Mechanics' Institute and the ten-storey Bank of Ottawa building in order to make space for the new 22-storey building. In 1962, the Royal Bank moved its main office to another famous Montreal building, Place Ville-Marie, however kept a branch in the impressive main hall of the old building, situated in Old Montreal. That branch relocated to the nearby Tour de la Bourse in July 2012. * Saint-Jacques street with the Royal Bank building (the tallest), 1935 (en)
