Historic Sites of Manitoba: Johnstone Block / Kuo Min Tang Building (209 Pacific Avenue, Winnipeg)
This two-storey brick building on Pacific Avenue in Winnipeg was designed by local architect Frank Robert Evans and constructed in 1910 by Arthur John Bonnett for real estate agents James and Robert Johnstone. The first floor contained commercial space occupied by a succession of retail stores, art galleries, and more. The upper floor was used originally for offices and later as residential space. Later building owners included the Chinese Nationalist League of Canada, various businessmen, and the Kuo Min Tang Association of Manitoba. The building is a municipally-designated historic site.
