Like most buildings along Bay Street, many of those toward Graham Street date to the latter half of the 19th century. Notable is the classified former National Bank, designed 1874 in Italian Renaissance style by architect Leonard Terry, and extended in 1889. Across the lane from the old bank building, a real estate office occupies an 1866 grocery shop, which has survived despite the new residential which looms beside and above it. Down the lane called Little Dow Street, catch a glimpse of the tiny 1866 Army and Navy Hotel —closed long ago and now restored as offices.
