This one-storey brick building on Archibald Street in St. Boniface (now Winnipeg), measuring about 160 feet long and 44 feet wide, was constructed in 1908 as a two-bay engine house for the Canadian Pacific Railway. It served the CPR St. Boniface Yard and adjacent station. The former engine house is one of only four surviving in Manitoba, the others being at Dauphin, The Pas, and Reston. At the time of a 2023 site visit, the former engine house was being used as a self storage facility.
