St. Boniface, Winnipeg

The eastern side of much of the modern day city of Winnipeg is St. Boniface. Originally a French speaking community on the east side of the Red River, St. Boniface was incorporated as a town in 1883 and as a city in 1908. There were quite a few large former religious-based institutions in the area, many with domes or towers, giving the area its own distinct architectural identity.
