Historic Sites of Manitoba: Edmonton Terrace (123-145 Edmonton Street, Winnipeg)

This 2½-storey wood frame, cream brick veneer, and Tyndall stone trimmed, Victorian Gothic Revival-style terrace building was at the southeast corner of Edmonton Street and York Avenue in Winnipeg. Measuring 42 feet by 200 feet, it was designed by architects Charles Arnold Barber and Earle William Barber, and built in 1882 at a cost of about $20,000, for owner George Winks. In its original configuration, the building contained twelve residential units.

The building has since been demolished and the site is now occupied by the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
