Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ryan Block (44 Princess Street, Winnipeg)

This seven-storey block was designed for shoe merchant Thomas Ryan by local architects W. W. Blair and G. W. Northwood, and built in 1906 by S. Brynjolfsson and Company for about $60,000. A showroom occupied the main floor with storage in upper floors. In 1924, Ryan sold the building to the Estate of Edwin Bourke. It later changed hands several more times. The building is now a municipally-designated historic site.
