COMPETITIONS
DOMINION BANK, Yonge Street at King Street, 1877. Dick was one of several architects invited to submit proposals for the new head office building for the bank, and his submission, signed 'Bona Fide', survives today (Horwood Coll., 150). The First Premium was awarded to William Irving.
HORTICULTURAL GARDENS, Gerrard Street at Sherbourne Street, 1877. Dick prepared two alternative designs for a Skating Rink and Concert Hall (Horwood Coll. 142), but his plans were set aside and the design for a Pavilion submitted by Langley, Langley & Burke was accepted.

The drawings by Dick have survived, and are now held at the Ontario Archives, Toronto (OA, Horwood Coll. 153). The winner was Richard A. Waite of Buffalo, N.Y.
WEST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Denison Street, 1879, a Gothic Revival proposal which was passed over in favour of the design by Gordon & Helliwell. The drawings by D.B. Dick survive in the Horwood Collection, 164.

HAMILTON, ONT., The Hamilton Club, Main Street East at James Street, 1882. D.B. Dick was one of four architects from Hamilton, Toronto and Buffalo, N.Y. who were invited to submit designs for the new home of the Hamilton Club. The eventual winner of the competition was Richard Waite (Mark Osbaldeston, Unbuilt Hamilton, 2016, 101-04, illus. & descrip.)
CONFEDERATION LIFE BUILDING, Yonge Street at Richmond Street East, 1889. The reserved and sedate Romanesque Revival design by Dick was no match for the winning scheme submitted by Knox & Elliott, and his drawings were not placed among the four finalists (Horwood Coll. 305)
