1907 – Nanton Building, Portage Avenue, Winnipeg

Demolished along with the adjacent Childs Building in 1988 for the construction of a 33-storey skyscraper.

Another of the recent buildings designed by architects Darling & Pearson, is the new Nanton block, at the corner of Main st. and Portage ave., which was erected at a cost of $150,000. It has a concrete foundation, with Bedford stone front, and the structural work is of steel with reinforced concrete floors. The partition walls are constructed of galvanized iron studs and expanded metal lath, upon which cement plaster has been applied. It has fireproof windows and the interior woodwork is of oak throughout. The Nanton block occupies one of the most important and busiest sites in Winnipeg, and, from the standpoint of interior office arrangement, is one of the best in the city.
Construction, December 1909
