The Canadian Bank of Commerce building and Wentworth Hotel. The Canadian Bank of Commerce came to Cranbrook August 8, 1898, within a month of the arrival of the railway. Built at a cost of $15,000 it was one of Cranbrook's first imposing commercial structures. By 1967 the building no longer adequately accommodated bank business. The new (and present) Royal Bank building opened August 17th, 1968. The Wentworth Hotel can be seen behind the bank building.
