Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Medical College / St. Regis Apartments (561 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg)

The Manitoba Medical College, established in 1883 as the first such school west of the Great Lakes, occupied a two-storey brick building constructed in 1884. Later expanded to its present three-storey configuration, in 1906 the College moved to new facilities at 750 Bannatyne Avenue and this building was renovated into an apartment block.
