Designed by local architects Lewis H. Jordan and Walter Percy Over, and built in 1910 for the First Church of Christ Scientist, this brick building on River Avenue in Winnipeg was sold in 2011 to the Stonebridge Development Group. It was subsequently renovated into residential apartments. In 2014, the project was given a Preservation Award by Heritage Winnipeg.
