Living History: Three centuries. One address
The prestigious address of One King West was first home to the original
Michie & Co. Grocers & Wine Merchants, established in Toronto
in the mid-1800s. In 1879, the much sought-after Yonge and King location
changed owners to become home to the head office of The Dominion Bank, a
residency that would last an impressive 126 years.
In 1955, a merger with the Bank of Toronto resulted in the formation of
The Toronto-Dominion Bank. Following this, many head office functions
were relocated to the current Toronto-Dominion Bank building, while a
branch continued to operate at 1 King West into the nineteen-nineties.
By 2006 the transformation was finally complete, resulting in One King
West Hotel and Residence. Today, guests of the hotel are treated to the
historical splendor of the Dominion Bank Building along with the modern
sophistication of luxurious hotel amenities and services.
