Interior photos of the Bank of Montreal building on Stephen Ave. (old A&B location)

[nich148_9]

I've been searching for a long-ass time and can't find any photos of the interior of this building. Looking for photos as recent as possible.

Not posted in the real estate area because requests for photos of old buildings isn't the focus of that section.

Planning a robbery?

Is the building closed? Why cant you go down their and take your own photos?

[dino_martini]

Its been vacant for atleast six or seven years now I think.

is that bank on the corner of 8th ave and 1st street? if so I happened to stroll into there last week and its spectacular inside. these construction guys were doing something around there and saw a friend looking through the window at the ceiling and let us in for a second.

even if you cant get in now, you can get a pretty damn good view of the inside from the windows at the alley in the back (between 7th ave and 8th ave) which is behind the church.

Why is this not a heritage building?

I know I will sound young, and like a noob. But I remember buying my first CD at that location of A&B sound

my dads office was across the street overlooking stephen ave and i used to spend my summers there being a coffee getter for all the office staff, i remember going to a&b sound and walking around for hours looking at all the stuff i was saving up for, at that time mini disc players were the hotness and thats what I was trying to buy lol

I'm always shocked that this hasn't been converted into a nightclub or something, its a super cool building with a lot of potential.

My Dad used to take me there, yupp, you are young. I remember it as an actual bank.

I thought some energy company was going in back in 2006 or 7 and it never went ahead.
