Historic Sites of Manitoba: Benard House (454 Edmonton Street, Winnipeg)This house, near the northwest corner of Central Park at the intersection of Edmonton Street and Cumberland Avenue in Winnipeg, was designed by local architect Joseph Greenfield and built in 1903 as a speculative venture by Walter R. Fish, a travelling salesman for Gault Brothers who lived in the area. Upon completion, it was sold to Hermisdas Benard. After his death in 1903, his widow Louisa continued to live there until it was sold in 1936. It was purchased two years later by contractor Watson Lytle, who made major renovations. It changed hands several times until it was converted into a multi-unit rental property in 1977. The building is a municipally-designated historic site.
