Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Medical College / St. Regis Court (561 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg)
The Manitoba Medical College, established in 1883 as the first such school west of the Great Lakes, occupied this two-storey brick building constructed in 1884 on McDermot Avenue in Winnipeg. Later expanded to its present three-storey configuration, in 1906 the College moved to new facilities at 750 Bannatyne Avenue. In 1908, the building was renovated into a ten-suite apartment block called St. Regis Court.
