Designed by local architect David W. Bellhouse and built by contractor Philip Burnett, the five-storey Henderson Building was erected in 1910 at the southwest corner of Bannatyne Avenue and Adelaide Street. It was originally owned by the Robert J. Henderson, whose Henderson Manufacturing Company made overalls and shirts.
Other building tenants manufacturers agents, a grocery supplies business, and Richardson Brothers, whose firm sold art supplies and picture frames. Henderson sold the building in 1950, after which time the building, a municipally-designated historic site, was been occupied by a variety of ventures. In 2009, the building was recognized with a Heritage Winnipeg Preservation Award.
