Two Temple Place was previously known as Astor House, built by William Astor in 1895. Upon William Astor’s death in 1919 the property went to the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors and became known as the Sun of Canada House. The building was opened as Two Temple Place in 1929 by the Duke and Duchess of York as the Head Office of the Society.

Prior to 1895, the site upon which William Astor built the property was occupied by an Engineer’s warehouse. The Thames had washed the edges of the land until the Victoria Embankment had been completed in 1870.
