- Scope and Content
- In 1970, Lethbridge’s newest drive in was at the Bank of Montreal at 13th Street North. There was also space inside the ultra-modern structure, designed by local architect Hans Bohnert, for six other tellers. Transactions were accomplished through the use of a sliding tray; communications by a speaker system. A special heater warmed the wicket in the winter. The only other Bank of Montreal drive-in in Canada was in Vancouver. Teller Debbie Buryan accepted a deposit from Dick Rittenhouse, contractor for the $150,000 addition. Debbie was protected by a bullet-resistant window that could not be opened.
