This two-storey brick building on Princess Street in Winnipeg was designed by local architect John Hamilton Gordon Russell and built in 1901 by Daniel David Wood and George Andrews Mitchell to house the animal feed business of William Grigg Douglas.
In September 2015, it became a municipally-designated historic building.
