Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ames Holden McCready Building (318 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg)

This brick building at the corner of McDermot Avenue and Adelaide Street in Winnipeg was designed by local architect John D. Atchison and built in 1914 by Lyall-Mitchell as a warehouse for the wholesale boot and shoe firm of Ames Holden McCready of Montreal. Originally designed as a six-storey structure, the first three storeys were built with an expectation that three more storeys would be added later. This was never done.
