Historic Sites of Manitoba: Christie Brown Building (1147-1155 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg)This large industrial building on Notre Dame Avenue in Winnipeg was designed by local architect George Gaspar Teeter and constructed between 1931 and 1932 by contractors Hazelton & Walin for Ontario-based cookie manufacturer Christie, Brown and Company. Expanded in 1953 by contractor Gerard Alphonsus “Gerry” Baert, the factory closed in 1978. In 1979, the building was taken over by Mid West Garments. The firm moved to the back and the Specialized Services for Children and Youth (SSCY) Centre built an addition and moved in.
