Historic Sites of Manitoba: Deer Lodge Hospital (2109 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg)The Deer Lodge Hospital in Winnipeg was established in 1916 as a convalescence facility for soldiers returning from the First World War. In 1928, a military wing was constructed on the east side of the original building by contractor J. L. Guay. Another wing was added in 1929 by contractor R. N. Wyatt. A two-storey corridor to connect the old and new wings of the hospital, a new clinical wing, two treatment pavilions, a boiler house and utilities building, and a nurses residence were built between 1942 and 1945 by contractor Gerard Alphonsus “Gerry” Baert. The hospital became a provincial facility in 1983. Administrators
