This three-storey brick block on Furby Street in Winnipeg was built in 1928 by Lindal Josafat Hallgrimson and Hannes J. Lindal. The 61 foot by 142 foot building contains 29 apartments in its original configuration. It now has 32 apartments.
Originally named Lindbergh Apartments after American aviator Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-1974), in 1940 it was renamed Lindal, after builder Hallgrimson, due to the animosity of tenants toward remarks by Lindbergh opposing American aid to the United Kingdom during the Second World War.
