Historic Sites of Manitoba: Canadian Pacific Railway Station (Arnes, RM of Gimli)

This building at Arnes in the Rural Municipality of Gimli is a portion of the former Canadian Pacific Railway depot at Gimli, built in 1906. Constructed out of wooden beams and lumber, it has a hip roof, flared eaves, and an awning over the platform. By the 1960s, it was no longer used and the station was cut in half; this is the southern section. It is now privately owned and used for storage.
