Historic Sites of Manitoba: Gilchrist House (1015 Wellington Crescent, Winnipeg)Designed by Winnipeg architect Arthur Edward Cubbidge and built in 1932, its first occupant was James Miller Gilchrist but it is perhaps better known for its second occupants as of 1948: Gilbert and Marjorie Eaton, members of the famous department store family. After they moved out, the house was purchased in the early 1970s by fashion designer Peter Nygard. The house was demolished between July and August 2022.
