The Dominion Building is named for the Dominion Bank which occupied the building many decades ago. According to historical Maps of St. Catharines, the Dominion Building was built between 1875 and 1890. It was originally home to the Bank of Toronto before being occupied by Dominion. A photo of a sketch of the building from 1890 is below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaralaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6018 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaralaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1-300x271.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the early 20th century, the building was transferred to Dominion Bank, after which the building was eventually named.
