A March 2019 reflection of the CIBC Square Phase One development framed by the original eastern facade of the Toronto Postal Delivery Building - Photo by Robson Smith
CIBC Square Phase One framed by the original eastern facade of Canada Post's Toronto Postal Delivery Building, completed in 1941 and currently part of the Scotiabank Arena. This facade combines the fascinating architectural styles of Art Deco and Art Moderne. The plinth (base of the building) is formed partly by black granite, in which we see the reflection of CIBC Square. Towards the top of the image, note the bas relief carving, one of a series of 13 located on the east and south sides of the arena. Uniquely created by stone carver Louis Temporal Sr., one of Canada's foremost stone carvers, these carvings show the amazing history of Canadian transportation and communication.
