Eaton Block / Starbuck's (Saskatoon)

In 1906 Dr. Frederick Eaton, physician, came west from Toronto and set up his practice across the street at 806 Broadway. In 1911 he built this block and moved his office to one of its suites; after three years, however, he left for British Columbia. The main floor housed the Canadian Bank of Commerce from 1911 until 1934, when the bank was hit by the Depression. Another notable tenant was W.D.Malouf (1936–44), a member of a family prominent in Broadway’s affairs. Originally the building was crowned by a finial on a dramatic baroque pediment.

For many years, it was home to the Pumpkins & Monkeys toy store. When it moved one block south, the Starbucks coffee chain opened in the space. The new building behind the Eaton Block, currently occupied by the Sushiro sushi restaurant, was constructed to match the style of this heritage building.
