This largely brick wall belongs to the CIBC just east of the northeast corner of Kingsway and Knight. Even before banks added ATMs to their exteriors (early-1980s), they had mailbox-like interfaces with slots marked MAIL and pull-down drawers marked WALLETS. If it was after banking hours, and you had a document or a bundle that needed to arrive first thing the following morning, you could enter these items through these portals. The mailbox interface was the first to go, and that accounts for the stainless steel cover. As for the ATM interfaces, they were filled-in with bricks and you can see their outlines. Not a picture I am fond of. I'll attempt a better one when the sun's out.
