Sitting empty for many years,
Of the many railway buildings in Winnipeg,
Formerly a seedy, down-at-hell rooming hotel,
The McLaren family were a prominent Winnipeg hotelling family owning a number of establishments including the Brunswick (Main and Rupert),
Large development on the corner of Portage and Main which attempts to address the city plan by facing down Main Street.
In Winnipeg the main banks had been clustered on Main Street.
A modern eight storey commercial block,
Originally built as an industrial headquarters for The Dublin Oil and Gas Company established to extract gas from fish oil.
Truly horrific materials, design, and massing marks this waste of a fantastic site along a busy street and abutting Trinity College.
