This three-storey brick and stone apartment block on Langside Street in Winnipeg, measuring 48 feet by 89 feet, was designed by architect Peter Cornelius Samwell and built in 1911 by contractor John Edward Wilson. It had 15 suites, three in the basement (along with a laundry), and four on each of the above floors.
Known initially as Rosetta Court, it was renamed Bradeen Apartments in 1924.
