The Broadview Hotel, Queen St. E., Toronto, 1954. Image: Toronto Public Library
Description
This four-storey Romanesque Revival-style building was constructed for Archibald W. Dingman, an entrepreneur influential in Alberta's early oil-drilling industry and a principal in Puglsey, Dingman & Co., a Toronto-based soap manufacturer. The Canadian Bank of Commerce was originally located at the street level, with offices and meeting halls on the upper floors. In 1907, Dingman sold the building to Thomas J. Edward who converted it into the Broadview Hotel a year later.
