This three-storey brick and Tyndall stone apartment block on Hugo Street North in Winnipeg, measuring 100 feet by 83 feet, was designed by local architect James William Hawker and built in 1930 by the Moxam Construction Company at a cost of about $100,000.
In its original configuration, the building contained 12 five- (two bedrooms, living/dining room, kitchen, and bathroom) and six-room (three bedrooms, living/dining room, bathrooms, kitchen) apartments. Maids’ rooms and private garages were available.
