This three-storey brick and stone block on Wolseley Avenue in the Wolseley area of Winnipeg, measuring 94 feet by 80 feet, was designed by Harry Genser and built in 1914 by contractor Sigmund Lobel at a cost of about $100,000. The building contained 43 apartments in its original configuration. It contains 44 apartments today. Known in earlier references as Bell Rose Apartments, it was renamed Bellarosa at some point.
