Historic Sites of Manitoba: Massey-Harris Warehouse (80 Sutherland Avenue, Winnipeg)A brick structure at the southeast corner of Sutherland Avenue, parallel to Euclid Street (since removed) in Winnipeg, was commissioned by the Massey-Harris Company Limited in 1907 and built by Carter-Halls-Aldinger. Prior to its construction, this was the site of a coal and wood yard for the Windatt & Company. This two-storey warehouse replaced existing storage capacity for agricultural implements at their nearby earlier warehouse along the west side of Gomez Street North (at 49.90476, -97.12477). The facility cost around $21,000, measures 82 feet by 146 feet, and featured an interior vault of 16 feet by 13 feet. The original warehouse east of this location was demolished between spring 1914 and late 1917. A railway siding from the Canadian Pacific Railway Main Line which provided direct rail access along the southwest side of the building has since been removed, along with the associated platforms.
