Historic Sites of Manitoba: Safeway Store No. 521 (1 St. Anne’s Road, Winnipeg)
This one-storey brick building on St. Anne’s Road in Winnipeg, measuring 32 feet by 80 feet, was designed by the architectural firm of Northwood and Chivers. It was constructed as a grocery for Safeway Stores Limited and opened officially on 21 December 1929.
The building, with a relatively unmodified exterior from its original appearance, was in use as a wellness centre at the time of a 2020 site visit.
