Formerly located on the east side of First Street between Rosser Avenue East and Pacific Avenue East in Brandon, a two-storey brick building was built in 1921 by the firm of Carter-Halls-Aldinger as an oil storage warehouse for The Imperial Oil Company.
Demolished in early 2005, the site is now occupied by a public park named for John “Errol” Black.
