1912 – Free Press Building, Carlton Street, Winnipeg

This fine Edwardian office building on Carlton Street was designed by architects John Woodman and Raymond Carey for the Manitoba Free Press, later the Winnipeg Free Press. Constructed with a concrete frame, and finished externally in brick, stone, and terracotta, it is a fine example of the stripped classical style of the Edwardians. The original six bay building is the southern end, an extension to the north was later added in the mid 1920s – this left the main entrance in the centre of the final building. The change in colour of materials can be seen. The extension is similar but not an exact copy of the original and was designed by Arthur E. Cubbidge (1881-1952), a former partner of Woodman. There is a fine entrance hallway with Art Deco influences. In 1991, the company relocated to an industrial park, this building is now used for a variety of offices.
