This brick building on the Fort Garry Campus of the University of Manitoba was designed by local architects Samuel Hooper and Victor Horwood and built in 1912 to generate power for the buildings of the Manitoba Agricultural College. It has been extensively renovated through the years but is still in use by the University.
