Historic Sites of Manitoba: Scott Memorial Orange Hall (216 Princess Street, Winnipeg)Designed by local architect James McDiarmid and built in 1902 by James Henry Neil, this impressive three-storey building in downtown Winnipeg was occupied by the Loyal Orange Lodge, a fraternal organization. The hall was named in commemoration of Thomas Scott, a protagonist of Louis Riel who was killed during the 1870 Red River Resistance. In 2017, it became a municipally-designated historic building. After sustaining unrepairable damage to its foundation in late 2019, the building was demolished in February 2020.
